Can I use rrdtool with Perl to make graphs from CSV files?

Below is the sample data format in my CSV file.

Every next morning this CSV file has been updated with next date values. Can I use rrdtool to create graphs, and if so how?

Answer 1

RRDTool::OO is an excellent module with lots of documentation.

Answer 2

The rrdtool tutorial actually starts you out by having you read data points from a text file into rrdtool's database. This should be a good jumping off point for figuring out a solution to your problem.
