Thanks Matt, for the edits. Nice cleaning up. I have just made a major
update to the PDL installation instructions, and *have* brought cpanm
back. As you will see from the current version of the instructions, I
make heavy use of cpanm. Since it made my life super easy (I will
never go back to cpan), I believe other folks would also benefit from
using cpanm.

I have added a major update to the graphics section on how to build
the dependencies for PLplot, probably the most complicated section of
PDL build.
