Monks,

I'm trying to create a bar graph by reading in data from a flat file using GD::Graph::Data. I keep getting an error message and I don't see the error of my ways. 
File Contents of all_space.dat:
adsrv2h,5
cibs1host,34
cibs2host,53
dw04host,44
dw06host,43
dwrdb1,77
dwr1dv,3
etl1host,78
etl2host,17
m03host,64
---------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use CGI ':standard';
use GD::Graph::Data;
use GD::Graph::bars;
use strict;

my $data = GD::Graph::Data->new();

my @data;

$data->read(file =>'/data/space/all_space.dat', delimiter => ',');

my $mygraph = GD::Graph::bars->new(500, 300);

$mygraph->set(
    x_label     => 'Machines',
    y_label     => 'Percent of used space',
    title       => 'Machines - Disk Availablility',
) or warn $mygraph->error;

my $myimage = $mygraph->plot(\@data) or die $mygraph->error;

print "Content-type: image/png\n\n";
print $myimage->png;

The exact error I'm getting is "no data sets or points at /data/cgi/machines.cgi line 28". Line 28 is the plotting line. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Louis
