MinGW and dmake work fine with ActiveState perl-5.8.8 (and later). Building PDL is then just a matter of running: perl Makefile.PL dmake test dmake install If you build PDL from source first install ExtUtils::F77.

If that's the case, and you want to make use of PGPLOT, let me know and I'll send you a corrected DynaLoader.pm. (It's the DynaLoader.pm that's included in ActiveState build 1002 if you want to track it down yourself.)
