Hi Dima- I cloned the repo and and it built out of the box for my cygwin install. Pretty impressive watching all the gnuplot window appear when running tst.pl! The build and tests passed for win32 ActiveState perl but the tst.pl program failed with a bunch of messages like:
'gnuplot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. So somehow the build and tests pass without the module being able to run. I suggest adding an INSTALL file with directions on where to obtain gnuplot and that it is required for the module to work. Also, it is very helpful to module users if the module install process is "friendly". At the least, the tests should indicate that gnuplot was not found and refer the user to where/how to get it. I had to change the git repository URL to http:// from https:// before it would work. Maybe that would make sense for the meta data and your github resource. Looking forward to seeing this on CPAN. If the platform issues can be resolved, it could be a strong addition to the PDL development environment. --Chris Ideally, you would have a module like Alien::GnuPlot to probe, configure, or build/install gnuplot as part of the perl Makefile.PL stage of the build.
