i figured that much, but that is not the way to solve my gnuplot problem. i
need to translate the following commandline to perl:

(echo "set term post"; echo "plot '-' w l"; cat data) | gnuplot > data.ps

where "cat data" is replaced by a pipe of some sort ...

gnuplot is tricky because the "plot '-'" part means that the data is supplied
followingly


gnuplot is wierd, but i hope perl can unwierd it
