Hi all,

I have installed PDL 2.4.3 in three different computers. In two of
them, which are relatively modern boxes, I try to have the latest
packages and Perl modules. In these two machines when using "apropos"
in perldl I get the following message:

example:
apropos integrate

output:
Can't locate object method "interpolate" via package "Pod::Text" at ....

These machines use Pod::Text 3.08 (part of podlators-2.05).

However, I noticed that in my third machine, an older laptop with some
older packages, "apropos" actually worked fine. After a bit of
research it turned out that this old machine uses Pod::Text 2.21
(podlators 1.27). I therefore downloaded the Text.pm file from the
2.21 version and just changed it in one of the newer machines ... and
worked fine. I am a complete noob with these perl modules, but I
noticed that the "interpolate" method is not mentioned in Pod::Text
versions 3.06 and above. May be other people already experienced this
problem. Google does not say much on this (only a japanese page, but I
cannot figure out what is in there). I am doing something wrong in my
more modern machines? or does PDL need a small fix in this aspect?
