Hi Karl, I am testing this on my Mac, OS 10.10.5 (Yosemite). The results were mixed.

It reads my ~/.perldlrc, which is simple: $ more ~/.perldlrc #startup script for perldl shell require('PDL/default.perldlrc'); use PDL::AutoLoader; use PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT::Window; $PDL::AutoLoader::Rescan=1; 1; > % pdl derek@turul:/$ which perl /Applications/PDL/bin/perl derek@turul:/$ which pdl /Applications/PDL/bin/pdl derek@turul:/$ pdl perlDL shell v1.357 PDL comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

You should move it to the Trash.' I'm not sure what the difference between those two are. Do I need to add 'source /Applications/PDL/setup_bash' to my .profile, then log out and log in again so they have the PATH set correctly?
