Hi Folks, 
 
I am trying to use the PGPlot.pm (win32 for perl 5.10) from the Winnipeg 
repository on ASPerl 5.10 Build 1004 for PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT. I am not sure 
if I have all of the requirements or not. I do have the grwnd.exe and 
grfont.dat files in my perl directory and I have set the environment variables 
for them as per a thread on PDL::TriD between Sina Türeli and Sisyphus from 08 
Jul 2008:
 
set PGPLOT_DEVICE=/PNG
set DISPLAY=1
set PGPLOT_FONT=C:\perl\bin\grfont.dat

But when I try to use imag I always get the following error and I have to 
ctrl-c to get out of it as it won't accept any of the inputs (from /GW to /PNG).
 
code snippet:
perldl> imag (sin(rvals(200,200)+1))
 Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /NULL): /PNG
 %PGPLOT, Unrecognized device type
 %PGPLOT, Invalid device specification: /PNG

 Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /NULL): /GW
 %PGPLOT, Unrecognized device type
 %PGPLOT, Invalid device specification: /GW

 Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /NULL): ?

    /GW        (grwnd.exe on Win32)
    /CGW       (grwnd.exe on Win32; colors compatible with /CPS)
 Non-interactive file formats:
    /GIF       (Graphics Interchange Format file, landscape orientation)
    /VGIF      (Graphics Interchange Format file, portrait orientation)

 Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /NULL): /NULL

 %PGPLOT, Unrecognized device type

The only way I can get out of the loop is to hit ctrl-c.
 
I can start grwnd up from a cmd prompt, so I know that it is in the path. Is 
there something else that I need to install or is this a bug? Do I need to 
install PGPLOT as well? I was reading the site 
http://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/grwinlib/english/make.html 
<http://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/grwinlib/english/make.html>  regarding "How to 
build GrWin/PGPLOT executables", but in my understanding of that page and the 
reference page 
http://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/grwinlib/english/contrib/pgplot/ 
<http://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/grwinlib/english/contrib/pgplot/>  "GW driver 
for PGPLOT (Rel. 1.5.0)" if I have grwnd.exe I have all that I need. 
 
Do I need to install something else or am I missing some configuration?
 
Thanks,
