$d is a reference to the array containing your data sets

I know that. But...

@data = map int( rand 100 ), 1 ..30;;               ## THE DATA
$d = \@data;;                                       ## A REFERENCE TO

print 1.. @$d;;                                     ## AN UNRELATED SE

    I am doing a scatterplot of the data versus the sequence of integers. The latter is "linear" by definition. To this scatterplot I fit a straight line and measure how well the line fits. Then I try logs on the data or the integer sequence, fit again and see if the fit improves.
