I haven't heard of anyone trying this. It seems like a lot of trouble.
Some people have used perl and NCL. They invoke NCL scripts
(The NCAR Command Language) through perl scripts to read data, process data and
produce graphs as well as binary , ASCII and netCDF output.
I think the easiest route if your determined to use the FORTRAN utilities is
to write self contained programs that produce specific types of plots which
have some kind of standard representation for input data files. This way
you could just invoke them from within perl and provide a path to the file
you want to plot.
