The facts are that the two different version have changed independently, and probably in different ways.
Please find attached the diffs between your last change to the PLplot code,
with this message:
commit deafde901f45a511a885edb7d8a3ddfd689aea7a

Added build option for Darwin. Also added fix to plplot.pd which permits
building of
more plplot functions if pllegend is not found.
...and the current version. In the meantime, until Doug says otherwise, I
believe the correct way forward is for PDL to NOT distribute Doug’s code with
the main PDL distro, especially since that is about to split up anyway.
Doug, please take any of the changes that you find to your taste in that patch,
apply them, and release a new version. By the way, I would strongly encourage
you to use a version-control system, and specifically git, and then to put your
code on Github. If you would like guidance on how to achieve this, I am pleased
to help.

Subject: Re: PDL::Graphics::PLplot clash with PDL
Hi Chris: So, I'm not sure what to do. I can pull in the changes in the
PDL-2.008 version of PDL::Graphics::PLplot and merge them
into the recent version 0.71 release from CPAN (which is causing troubles due
to the more recent $VERSION) and release this to CPAN as version 0.72. I'm not
sure how that will help the internal version from PDL-2.008. I guess I could
update the git for PDL (if I still have developer access, I have not tried in a
while) and give it a more recent $VERSION (probably 0.72 to match the
stand-alone release). Is this what I should do?
Are you planning on removing the internal version of P::G::PLplot from future
PDL distros? That is fine with me. It would make it easier to add new
features without messing with the main PDL distribution.
Regards,
Doug

Hi Doug-
The current version of PDL::Graphics::PLplot should be the one with PDL-2.008
on CPAN.
It just has not been indexed since the external one has a more recent
$VERSION.
We've made a lot of progress on the PDL core cleanup and with a new stable
release out and some energetic new PDL developers, it makes sense to continue
the process of evolving PDL into a tight, lean, simple, portable core together
with external libraries supported through "outside" CPAN modules. My
expectation is that this will allow for shorter release cycles for the core PDL
distribution and for the supplemental modules due to less cross-module
dependencies.
Eventually, I would like to see PDL3 implemented to replace the PDL-2.x core
implementation while allowing forward compatibility for existing external PDL
modules.
Thanks for helping to update the P::G::PLplot. I hope to test it once I get
the plplot library working on cygwin again. The git version pre-3.0 worked
essentially out of the box for me. Unfortunately, a lot of changes (mingw
stuff maybe?) happened and when I tried to build plplot 3.0 it was back to
square one and debugging which I haven't gotten back to.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Ed, Chris:
I just updated PDL::Graphics::PLplot to version 0.71 to get it working with
the latest perl and plplot releases. Unfortunately, I did this right before
PDL 2.008 was released. In the past I've always updated the PDL-internal
version of PDL::Graphics::PLplot when I update the external version, but I was
too late for that this time. I'm not sure what is the best way to proceed. It
sounds like you want to
pull PDL::Graphics::PLplot out of the main PDL distro and just install
PDL::Graphics::PLplot separately? That is what I do myself, so that is OK with
me.
The changes to the internal version and the external version need to be
merged. I don't use github or sourceforge, I just manage the source locally
and accept patches. If you could send a patch or if you could send the last
version of the PDL/Graphics/PLplot directory that was packaged up with PDL, I
could make an 0.72 version that incorporates the changes.
Thanks,
Doug Hunt

Hi Doug, (and Chris Cc:ed)
Chris Marshall has (as you may have seen on pdl-devel) uploaded PDL 2.008
to CPAN. PAUSE will not index this because your CPAN version, 0.71, is newer
than the one in PDL.
I have made a proposed change to PDL such that it will stop distributing
PDL::Graphics::PLplot, which is fine. This email is just to liaise with you
since there have been a few fixes made to the PDL version, and I wanted to let
you have them. However, I don’t see an online repo to submit changes against?
Are you using github/sourceforge at all?
