When I use gnuplot I use its special file handle '-' and inline the data.
Would it be better to use a tempfile? and if so what are the advantages?
I'd write your code like this :-
use v5.12; use warnings; use autodie;
use IO::Handle;
open my $out,'|-','gnuplot';
say $out 'unset key';
say $out "plot '-' with lines lw 3";
for my $t (100..500) {
say $out $t*sin($t*0.1),' ',$t*cos($t*0.1);
}
say $out 'e';
flush $out;
<STDIN>;
close $out;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
