Thanks for the replies! Hmmm, not sure what I'm doing wrong now.. I tried that but the graph is kinda screwed.
#!/usr/bin/perl

use GD::Graph::lines;
use strict;

my $i = "";

open(DATA, "newdata.txt") 
or die "Cannot open for reading: $!\n";
my @newdata = <DATA>;
close(DATA);

my @graph_data = [ ['May 12', 'May 13'], [], [], [] ];

for($i = 0; $i < scalar($#newdata + 1); $i++)   {

         my ($celcius, $radiation, $time) = split(/ /, $newdata[$i]);

          $graph_data[1][$i] = $celcius;
          $graph_data[2][$i] = $radiation;
          $graph_data[3][$i] = $time;
}

my $mygraph = GD::Graph::lines->new(600, 300);

$mygraph->set(
    x_label     => 'Time',
    y_label     => 'Value',
    title       => 'Temperature and Radiation',
    x_labels_vertical => 1,
    x_label_skip => 50,
    line_types  => [1, 1],
    line_width  => 2,
    dclrs       => ['blue', 'green'],
) or warn $mygraph->error;

$mygraph->set_legend_font(GD::gdMediumBoldFont);
$mygraph->set_legend('Temperature', 'Radiation');
my $myimage = $mygraph->plot(\@graph_data) or die $mygraph->error;

open(GRAPH, ">graph.png");
print GRAPH $myimage->png;
close(GRAPH);
