Hello,

Try to run the scantree.pl script, it will build pdldoc.db. You will
need Administrator rights since it will put pdldoc.db in your PDL
directory.

scantree.pl should be in C:\Perl\site\PDL\Doc\. If not, download the
source of PDL at sourceforge, this script is somewhere in it (you can
run this script from where you want, pdldoc.db will be correctly
installed).

if that doesn't work something is wrong in your pdl installation I
think.
