Hi Puneet: plplot is indeed a prerequisite for PDL::Graphics::PLplot.
I've not tested this on Darwin, but I imagine it should work. Compile
PLplot in the normal way, and not which directories the libraries and
include files are installed to.
Then before running the 'perl Makefile.PL' for PDL, edit the perldl.conf
file in the top level PDL directory. There should be variables you can
set for the location of PLplot libraries and include files.
Regards,
Doug

I thought plplot was the prerequisite for PDL::Graphics::PLplot, but
it seems to be the other way around. Now I am really confused and
stuck.
Suggestions welcome.

In my quest to learn PDL, I am trying to create simple 2D arrays of z
values and plotting them, kinda like possible with this little R
program at http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=27
I have several questions in this regard, from the simplest, most
complex to the most complex but possibly simplest --
1. How do I do the above?
2. How do I determine what PDL sub-modules I have already installed?
3. How do I install PDL::Graphics::TriD on a Mac with Leopard 10.5.8?
I don't have this particular module installed, and when I tried to, I
got a boatload of error messages, so many that I don't know even where
to start. How do I capture these messages so I can try to trace back
as to what is failing? The final message from the failed cpan session
is

_XS_PDL_plParseOpts in PLplot.o

So, seems like I don't have PLplot installed which is causing
PDL::Graphics::TriD to choke up. So, I downloaded PLplot and found
that it doesn't use the more familiar (to me) GNU autoconf mechanism.
Looking at its cmake instructions, I have come up with the following,
but before I run the following incantation and bugger up my machine, I
am seeking your advice -- is this suitable for a Mac OS X Leopard
installation?

And, then, if the above works, then retry
cpan> install PDL::Graphics::TriD
