Stephen:  pgplot-perl uses the PGPLOT_DIR environment variable to
ascertain where pgplot is installed.  If you upgraded pgplot, then tried
to upgrade pgplot-perl without restarting the shell, this environment
variable will still be set to the old value (/sw/pgplot) instead of the
correct, new value (/sw/lib/pgplot).  Restarting a terminal, or simply
setting the PGPLOT_DIR variable to /sw/lib/pgplot would have fixed it.

There is no error in the pgplot-perl patch file, and no need to copy the
pgplot headers.
