Glad to hear you find use for our software.

I agree that the web site should be updated but nobody found yet the time to 
do this. The easiest way to see current Lire capabilities is to install it 
and run it on a log file. We the ploticus dist, lines, pie, cat, stack and 
vbars plots. All reports contain tables and the plots are created from that 
table.

You will need to generate a XML report yourself. The best way to do this is to 
use the Lire::Report perl API. But since you are programming in Haskell, 
you'll probably need to generate the XML yourself. You can find the 
documentation of the Lire Report Markup Language in the Developer's Manual.
You might have to take a look at the Lire::Report:: code to figure out some 
details though.

Thanks for your interest in LogReport, kind Regards,
