Your 'style => "points"' is misplaced. If you want points to indicate your data on the chart, you need to put that in the dataset object, not the chart object.

This works for me:

use strict;
use warnings;

use Chart::Gnuplot;

my @rtppackettimeinms = (1,2,3,4,5);
my @scaledpayloadsize = (1,2,3,4,5);

my $chart = Chart::Gnuplot->new(
    terminal=>'dumb',
#    output =>"temp.png",
    title=>"RTPTSDiff vs ScaledPayloadSize",
    xlabel=>"PacketArrivalTime ms",
    ylabel=>"ScaledPayloadsize"
);

my $dataset = Chart::Gnuplot::DataSet->new(
    style => "points",
    xdata => \@rtppackettimeinms,
    ydata => \@scaledpayloadsize
);

$chart->plot2d($dataset);

NOTE: I commented 'output =>"temp.png"' and replaced with 'terminal=>dumb' to get the brilliant ASCII art you see below proving I get output and not the error you're seeing.

BTW, LOVE Chart::Gnuplot! You may also deduce from the command prompt above, I'm doing this on Windows 7 x64 with Strawberry Perl 5.16.1 and gnuplot 4.6 patchlevel 3.
