which Ubuntu release are you using? and what is the revision of the PDL
package?
I did an upload to debian unstable in October 2009 (package revision
2.4.5-1), which should have working TriD support.
If the version you have is older: try a backport of the debian unstable
package (I did so for debian lenny, package worked without modifications, and
after backporting the libopengl-perl package).
maybe somebody already did a pdl backport for your ubuntu release... if not,
in case of pdl it is not too hard to do by yourself:

general do-it-yourself approach:

0) modify /etc/apt/sources.list to include a deb-src line referencing debian
   unstable 
1) apt-get update
2) apt-get install build-essential devscripts
3) apt-get build-dep libopengl-perl
4) apt-get source libopengl-perl
5) change into libopengl-perl directory, run 'debuild'
6) install newly created libopengl-perl packags using 'dpkg -i'
7) repeat steps 3-6 for pdl

In case you need further help with backporting, ask me ;)
