I usually build up a list of the datasets programatically:

Loop over whatever you are working with:


push @datasets, [{
		   "title" => "dataset $N",
		   "style" => "lines",
		   "type" => "matrix",
		 },
		 \@data_for_this_one];

Then call:

gnuplot({ "title" => "graph title",
          "logscale y" => 1,
        },
        @datasets);
