Subject: barfs on spaces in .exe path ('C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,)
This code:- my $chart = Chart::Gnuplot->new( gnuplot=> "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\gnuplot\\bin\\gnuplot.exe", .... Causes this:- C:\>perl gplt.pl 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. C:\>

Line 970 in Gnuplot.pm is the problem. OLD (wrong):- my $cmd = qq("$gnuplot" "$self->{_script}"); NEW (fixed):- my $cmd = qq("$gnuplot" "$self->{_script}"); I also recommend adding this, above the line above it (e.g. immediately after the "my $gnuplot = 'gnuplot';" line), so it picks the right path for 99% of users:- if($^O=~/Win32/i){ $gnuplot = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\gnuplot\\bin\\gnuplot.exe"; $gnuplot = "C:\\Program Files\\gnuplot\\bin\\gnuplot.exe" unless(- e $gnuplot); }
