Hi Karl, I might have missed something, but when you say “PDL::Graphics::PDL” did you mean “PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT”?
In any case, looking at https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/amd64/pdl/filelist implies that there is indeed no PGPLOT.pm (though the demos are present). https://wnpp.debian.net/?type%5B%5D=RFP&project=libpdl-graphics-plplot-perl&description=&owner%5B%5D=yes&owner%5B%5D=no&col%5B%5D=description&sort=project%3Bdesc implies there is an open “RFP” (request for packaging) for libpdl-graphics-plplot-perl, which in turn implies that if someone did create a package, they would accept it.

If I do ‘apt install pdl’ then running pdl and doing ‘use PDL::Graphics::PDL’ gives a missing package error. There is a message during the apt install that says: sudo apt install pdl ... Suggested packages: gsl-ref-psdoc | gsl-doc-pdf | gsl-doc-info | gsl-ref-html libhdf4-doc libhdf4-alt-dev hdf4-tools doc-base libastro-fits-header-perl libdevel-repl-perl libextutils-f77-perl libfile-map-perl libinline-perl libinline-c-perl libmodule-compile-perl libopengl-perl libpdl-fftw-perl libpdl-graphics-plplot-perl libpgplot-perl netpbm | imagemagick proj-bin If I then install libpgplot-perl then ‘use PGPLOT’ works but not ‘use PDL::Graphics::PDL’. (I note that libpdl-graphics-plplot-perl does not seem to exist and neither is there anything like libpdl-graphics-pgplot-perl - see https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/pdl) The module PDL::Graphics::PDL is pure perl, so there is no harm in including it in the pdl package. I am guessing someone removed it from the debian(?) package and intended to create libpdl-graphics-pgplot-perl as part of a package refactoring, but did not. It almost looks like libpdl-graphics-plplot-perl is a typo. I am not sure if this is an Ubuntu issue or a Debian one, and I don’t really following all the naming conventions of the metapackages and how Ubuntu packages relate to Debian ones Note the easy install page recommendation for Ubuntu/debian no longer works! best Karl p.s. not relevant but libpgplot-perl actually gives a re-implementation using giza,
