Subject: [Perldl] instaling PDL with bad value support using CPAN

Not that I know of. When you use CPAN it does the following:
1) Downloads the source
2) Runs 'perl Makefile.PL'
3) Runs 'make test'
4) Runs 'make install'

You'll get badval support iff, before step 2) is run, perldl.conf is edited 
to include the badval option. (perldl.conf is in the top level folder of the 
PDL source. It's just a matter of making sure that the line 'WITH_BADVAL => 
0' is commented out, and the line 'WITH_BADVAL => 1' is uncommented in.

For mine, the simplest solution would be to enter the PDL source (assuming 
you know where CPAN has placed it),  make that amendment to perldl.conf, 
then 'cd' to the top level PDL source folder and manually run (in 
succession):

make clean
perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install

Cheers,
Rob
