I want to generate a chart using Chart::Graph::Gnuplot from a list of data files. This works: 
gnuplot({"title" => "foo"},
       [{"type" => "file"}, "cdb.7600.log"],
       [{"type" => "file"}, "cdb.8299.log"]);

ie. I get a chart with two data sets on it. However, I want to pass the list of filenames on the command line. Here's the manpage: 
use Chart::Graph qw(gnuplot);

gnuplot(\%global_options, @data_sets);
gnuplot(\%global_options, [\%data_set_options, \@matrix], 
                          [\%data_set_options, \@x_column, \@y_column]
+,
                          [\%data_set_options, < filename >], ... );

So, it looks to me like I can pass a reference to an array of data sets, where a data set is a hash, filename pair.. Here's my attempt: 
while($logfile = shift) {
    push @data_sets, ({"type" => "file"}, $logfile);
}

gnuplot({"title" => "foo"},
        \@data_sets);

But, and here's the rub, the chart I get only ever has the first data set on it. Am I doing something stupid? (I hope so).

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
