if you are gonna build against the system Perl, why even bother,
unless you are a sucker for punishment. Karl/Matt have done the work
for you... grab SciKarl, double-click, and off you go. Before you can
finish your latte, you will have a working PDL.

On the other hand, if you do want control over what gets built, if you
want to understand what goes where (well, the generic "you"... I am
directing this toward a newbie-level person such as myself, not
specifically at you), and if you don't want to monkey with what comes
with the operating system lest you shoot yourself in your foot, then
follow the detailed directions I have put up on the wiki and get
yourself a working, custom PDL.

Yes, possibly.
