Still not working, same problem with the .open method.  I'll run through 
my steps for installing gnuplot and ruby/gnuplot:

gnuplot - downloaded gp400win32.zip from gnuplot website.  Unzipped 
files and stored in C:\Gnuplot.  There were two executable files, 
pgnuplot.exe and wgnuplot.exe.  I renamed pgnuplot.exe to gnuplot.exe.

ruby/gnuplot - used gem install.  Then set path variable in both user 
variables and system variables to C:\Gnuplot.  Also created RB_GNUPLOT 
in system variables and set it to C:\Gnuplot\gnuplot.exe.  Still doesn't 
work.  I then tried to hardcode the path in the gnuplot.rb.  Altered 
line 22 "path = ENV['PATH'] # || ENV['WHAT_EVER_WINDOWS_PATH_VAR_IS']" 
to "path = 'C:\Gnuplot'".  Also tried to add the gnuplot.exe.  Still 
doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?
