What i am trying to do, is to parse a CSV file and create array of arrays  so can use them in :

my $data = [     2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ,     1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 5 ,     3, 6, 7, 5, 4, 3 , ]; replacing the individual array by $csvdata[n]

1 The CSV file is :

Date,Av,SEU,128,440,"1,024",Mixed,,rules profiling,snort,software version 7/14/2010,3.40,348,349.0,1254.9,3540.6,648.6,Mbps,on,s-2.8.6-38,4.9.1-229,,vs. 344,-1.22%,-0.02%,2.94%,0.79% 7/2/2010,3.40,344,353.3,1255.1,3439.4,643.5,Mbps,on,s-2.8.6-38,4.9.1-229,,vs. 343,0.37%,0.75%,-0.91%,-1.11% 6/30/2010,3.40,343,352.0,1245.8,3471.1,650.7,Mbps,on,s-2.8.6-38,4.9.1-229,,vs. 342,-0.26%,-0.91%,1.51%,-0.97% 6/24/2010,3.40,342,352.9,1257.2,3419.5,657.1,Mbps,on,s-2.8.6-38,4.9.1-229,,vs. 341,0.23%,0.50%,-1.34%,0.67%

2. i parse a csv file 
#!/usr/bin/perl
    use strict;
    use warnings;

    use Tie::CSV_File;

    tie my @csvdata, 'Tie::CSV_File', 'perf.csv';
   # print "Line 5, column 1: ", $csvdata[4][0] . "\n";
    untie @csvdata;

[download]
2. get $csvdatan 3 thru 6 and plot them against time so that X Axis is time Y axis is MBps and the 4 series, namely 128,440,"1,024",Mixed, and plotted against time plot the data using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel Thanks, -Kamal.
