PGPLOT on windowsXP fails with following Error Message	Can't Post

I am trying to run a programme which is using PGPLOT.When I call it from browser I get following error message.
--------
%PGPLOT, Unable to read font file: grfont.dat %PGPLOT, Use environment variable PGPLOT_FONT to specify the location of the PGPLOT grfont.dat file. %PGPLOT, PGENV: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGBBUF: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGEBUF: no graphics device has been selected
----------
grfont.dat file is on on my system under c:\XAMPP\perl\lib and I have set it as enviorment variable PGPLOT_FONT.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

probably the perl interpreter can not handle the system variable or this variable is not defined for windows user executing the script.

check the environment variables list via perl

Code

use Data::Dumper; 
print Dumper(\%ENV);

or set the required variable directly in the script (if it's can not be retrieved from the system)

Code

$ENV{PGPLOT_FONT} ||= 'c:\XAMPP\perl\lib\grfont.dat';

thanks for your response.
I added
$ENV{PGPLOT_FONT} ||= 'c:\XAMPP\perl\lib\grfont.dat';
But I still get same response.

%PGPLOT, Unable to read font file: grfont.dat %PGPLOT, Use environment variable PGPLOT_FONT to specify the location of the PGPLOT grfont.dat file. %PGPLOT, PGENV: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGBBUF: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGEBUF: no graphics device has been selected
thanks,
