Fabio, are you running on cygwin or win32? Mostly curious as I have never installed PLPlot on win32 and I am not sure how one would use XMing with windows perl. In the PLPlot installation notes it actually states it is better to use the dos command prompt rather than the rxvt terminal in MinGw due to bufferring issues. I am trying to understand your configuration, can you explain your system configuration - Base OS, Window Manager, Shell's, Perl type and version. It seems you have a rather complex configuration.
Regarding PGPlot, I didn't previously realize that Siysphus's version (use the instructions from https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pdl/index.php?title=Installing_PDL_on_Windows) actually included grwnd.exe and grfont.dat in his PGPlot.ppd. So if you are using ActiveState perl on win32, you must disable the ActiveState repo (open ppm. Once open select Edit => Preferences. Select the Repositories tab. If you hover your mouse over the ActiveState icon [the Yellow box to the left of the name] and single left click the icon will go Grey indicating that it has been deselected. Then you can use the uwinnipeg repository to install PDL using ActiveState Perl. Hope this helps.

I followed the syntax to get the window open on an X (Xming) but I get nothing or a file named as the hostname. use PDL; use PDL::Graphics::PLplot; # read in Earth image and draw an equator. my $pl=PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV => 'xwin', FILE => ':0'); my $x = sequence(10); my $y = $x**2; $pl->xyplot($x, $y); $pl->close; Some idea?
