So finally instead of just trying builds, I actually installed 2.007_16 and 
started using it today.

I do not like it: too many warnings.  Let's start a shell:

> derek@turul:~$ pdl
> Name "PERLDL::HISTFILESIZE" used only once: possible typo at 
> /Users/derek/local/bin/perldl line 21.
> Name "PDL::AutoLoader::Rescan" used only once: possible typo at

> Type 'help' for online help
> Type 'demo' for online demos
> Loaded PDL v2.00716 (supports bad values)

So that's 4 warnings right off the top.

Then there's this, every time I give myself some blank lines to think:

> pdl>
> Exiting subroutine via next at /Users/derek/local/bin/perldl line 622.
> Exiting eval via next at /Users/derek/local/bin/perldl line 622.

Or if the line matches /^#/ (but not /^ #/ ).

> pdl> #comment
> Can't exec "comment": No such file or directory at 
> /Users/derek/local/bin/perldl line 638.
> pdl>  #comment
> 
> pdl>


Then every time I have a successful apropos (but not unsuccessful apropos)

> pdl> ??xvals
> Use of uninitialized value $ENV{"TERMCAP"} in pattern match (m//) at 
> /Users/derek/local/lib/perl5/darwin-thread-multi-2level/PDL/Doc/Perldl.pm 
> line 77.
> xlinvals        X axis values between endpoints (see xvals).
> <etc>
> pdl> ??xvols
> no match
> 
> pdl>

The first time I tried pdldoc from the prompt (but not subsequent times???) I 
got an additional warning about $dir:

> derek@turul:PDL$ pdldoc -a xvals
> Use of uninitialized value $dir in opendir at 
> /Users/derek/local/lib/perl5/darwin-thread-multi-2level/PDL/Doc/Perldl.pm 
> line 345.
> Use of uninitialized value $ENV{"TERMCAP"} in pattern match (m//) at

> line 77.
> xlinvals        X axis values between endpoints (see xvals).

So maybe we need to dial it back a bit?

cheers,
Derek
