I hope so-

Working out the dependency resolution for PDL
from perl takes a bit of work.  That is actually
a reason to have the perl module build version
of the PDL install *more* accessible to new
PDL users.

If we can get more build feedback for different
platforms, that will greatly improve our
ability to make a portable PDL release, binary
or otherwise.

The good news is that there may be a good,
non-platform specific approach to making a
one-click, try/use PDL install which we can
experiment with for 2.4.8.

Cheers,
Chris
