Hi, I used the direct link to the repository as shown in the pdl.perl.org so it was not conflicting. That from winnipeg is different?
I already use perl for other uses. I would extend to scientific computing to stay on perl. About the "bound" on graphics I was referring to the large examples in the pdf available on the site about M51. Half of commands in the pdl pgplot are about images.

It will default to using ActiveState regardless of other repositories listed. I don't know why it didn't work if the ActiveState repo was disabled when you installed PDL from the uwinnipeg repo. PDL is kind of like MatLab/Octave/Scilab except it is accessible from Perl and I think that there are quite a few examples on the website that show its use in a general scientific computing nature. Not sure what the statement "bound to graphics" means. The data is available to use numerous graphics devices that are available on the system. PDL is a Perl module and natively supports three graphics susbsystems PGPlot, PLPlot and TriD (OpenGL). In order to use any of those graphics subsystems they must be installed on the computer. You can also use gnuPlot, however, you have to convert the piddle to an array reference (until our new PDL::Graphics::GnuPlot module becomes generally available). In any case, the graphics are only limited by what you have installed on the computer.

I used the version available at siysphusion repository already listed in ppm. I also got there the GSL. I am trying to figure the scope of PDL to enable general scientific computing. I am not sure, but it seems to me that the bound to graphics (imag, etc) is quite relevant, more than as an example of vectorized operations.

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.
