Hi,

I'm trying to create a dynamic set of arrays to pipe into GD::Graph.

This works fine: 

 @data=([@array1],[@array2],[@array3]);  
 my $gd = $graph->plot(\@data) or die $graph->error;

My question: How do i make @data have X set of arrays.

e.g. 

for ($x=1; $x<10; $x++)
{
@anotherarray=(1,2,3,4,5);
push @data, [ @anotherarray ];
}
 my $gd = $graph->plot(\@data) or die $graph->error;

which should give 9 lines?

I just get no points defined, or more specifically: No data sets or points :-(

UPDATE:
I'll give full details of what i'm trying to do. It's basically a traffic graph from multiple flat text files representing data streams.
They are in the format
TIME(HH:MM:SS):KBITS I open each file: 

foreach $file (@files)
{
undef @timestamp;
undef @kbits; 
open FILE, "$file";
@points=<FILE>;
foreach $point (@points)
{
@split=split /:/, $point;
push @timestamp, $split[0];
push @kbits, $split[1]; 
#### NOW IDEALLY, I WANT TO ADD @kbits TO THE DATA SET
### something like this:
push (@data, [ @kbits ] );  #forget the timestamp for now- that just c
+omplicates matters!
}

## BUT I CAN'T, SO I JUST CURRENTLY TAKE THE LAST SET OF DATA 
# this gives no error
@data=([@timestamp],[@kbits]);

I'm using fatalstobrowser so the exact error is:
No data sets or points at /home/web/http/volgraph.pl line 250.
