replying to the list for archival purpose...
Chris, you were absolutely correct. I had lots of dupes, leftover from Perl 5.10.1 days. I have now deleted all traces of Perl 5.10.1 (at least, I think I have). I reinstalled Devel::REPL, and it all works well now. If I have an error in my commands in pdl2>, I get a nice, concise error message that is very helpful. All is well. I just want to say openly and publicly that you have been immensely, immensely helpful (as have been numerous other veteran PDL-ites on this list) in getting me going. Seriously, PDL is the most fun I've had in Perl since 'use strict'. I vow that I will be just as patient as you all when I come across any newbie on any list, no matter how persistently irritating and irritatingly persistent he/she might be. Nothing like a satisfied customer for life. Now, if only we could get a server-based PDL installation that works in the browser... ;-) On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 4:55 PM, Chris Marshall <[email protected]> wrote: > [off list, my mailer doesn't handle threaded replies] > > Were you able to find any duplicate REPL installs? > The list of pm files in Perldl2 is: > > Perldl2/Plugin/NiceSlice.pm > Perldl2/Plugin/PDLCommands.pm > Perldl2/Plugin/PrintControl.pm > Perldl2/Profile/Perldl2.pm > Perldl2/Script.pm > > If you use the find command for the last component > of the path, you can find likely candidates: > > find /usr/local/lib/perl5 -name 'NiceSlice.pm' > > And then check that that is the right NiceSlice.pm. > Note there is another NiceSlice.pm in the PDL distribution > so don't get a false positive there. > > Another thing to try: in the Perldl2.pm profile file, comment > out the lines with load_plugin() on them (#49 and #54). > Then start up the pdl2 shell.
