in reply to Having problem graphing with Perl GD module

If you added use strict & use warnings to your code, you'd find about a dozen reasons why what you've posted doesn't work.

These include

  1. An unclosed if statement.
  2. Assigning to $data and passing \@data.
  3. Where does GD::Graph::Data come from? I can't find it on CPAN (and it surely isn't needed for what you are doing).

If you cleaned up the obvious things in your code, you'd get a lot closer to being able to solve your own problem.

    Thank you BrowserUk. Actually, #2 was the problem. I got around with following code. Also, I got rid of GD::Graph::Data. My if is closed. BTW, I am new to perlmonks and am very happy to see quick response on the site. 
    my @data = (\@log_date, \@deimos_open_bugs);
my $myimage = $mygraph->plot(\@data) or die $mygraph->error;

      Oh dear. New maintainer, new fluff. At least it's optional.

        It was there in 1.40 (earliest still on CPAN, 29 May 2003). I seem to remember using it in 2001 or 2002 as well but I'm too lazy to look it up in BackPAN.
