Hi Alan: I will try to start adding in new perl/PDL tests to cover the
API changes.

As of revision 11696 I have disabled Perl/PDL examples in tests by
default as a signal that Perl/PDL is a language that no longer
completely supports PLplot.
The reason for this change is that the external PDL::Graphics::PLplot
project is missing too much of the new PLplot functionality. For
example, according to the Changes file at
http://search.cpan.org/~dhunt/PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.52, the last
attempt to update the PDL::Graphics::PLplot to be consistent with new
PLplot API was for PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.46 which was released more
than two years ago.
I would be happy to reinstate the Perl/PDL tests by default and also
help a bit with the necessary Perl/PDL example propagation to obtain
consistency with our C examples results once PDL::Graphics::PLplot has
been updated to include the new PLplot API that has been developed
over the last couple of years.
