In Chart::Graph::Gnuplot latest it looks like line 768 is in _exec_gnuplot()
which calls system() to run gnuplot.
There are known problems getting the exit status back from a spawned process
under Catalyst.

I hit this a while ago. I didn't manage to track it down quickly so I found
a workaround using IPC::Run. That might work for you if you use the
pseudo-ttys option.

Cat-devs, any pointers as to what in Catalyst is interfering with process
spawning and I/O redirection?
