Perl supports storing data and code in the same file. This can also be used to
create self-plotting files:

This is especially useful if the logged data is not in a format directly
supported by feedGnuplot. Raw data can be stored after the __DATA__ directive,
with a small perl script to manipulate the data into a useable format and send
it to the plotter.
