I think the time has come to revisit the use of PAR
as a way to solve some of these very messy problems
of dependencies for different platforms.
Of specific interest for the 2.4.10 release would be
a PAR archive of the Devel::REPL and Moose dependencies
required for the pdl2 shell. There is even the ability
to use install system modules first and only fall back
to the PAR alternative if they are not available.
Here are a few links. The presentations by Steffen
Mueller are particularly intriguing. A couple of his
examples are about PDL. I wonder if he has a secret
PDL PAR repository somewhere... :-)

Enjoy,

Hello all,
After help from Karl and several patient people on the email list, I've
built PDL v2.4.9 under Lion. This is in preparation for the 2.4.10 release,
and this includes PGPLOT, TriD, and Proj4.
My disclaimer: DO NOT install this if you have a working PDL and are
preparing something important tomorrow. It should work smoothly, but this is
what this test is for!
If you are a brave soul, go ahead and install the package from:
http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~kenworthy/bin/SciPDL-v2.4.9-Lion-test.zip
Please check that all the demos in the pdl shell run, and report any bugs
and snafus to me ASAP.
Current bugs include:
No PLplot (yet), and the pdl2 shell doesn't work due to dependency hell with
DEVEL::Moose::Norwegian::BlueAntler or some such rubbish. No PNG or rgbi
support in the PGPLOT module.
