I know nothing about Windows installation for PLplot, except that Rob has
said that you should install PDL::Graphics::PLplot from cpan *apart* from
PDL, and that only after you have the PLplot C library compiled and
installed. As you're on ActiveState, I don't know if there's a good way to
do that. Maybe you can download a copy of Microsoft's Visual C compiler
(which is free, by the way) and use that to compile the PLplot bindings.
But, that's really a shot in the dark.

As for working examples, every single script used in my talk is a fully
working example. Feel free to copy them and use them. Sorry the text cannot
simply be copied from the website, though. You'll have to type it in by
hand.

FWIW, On Windows, my personal preferences, in order of preference, is
either (1) use Strawberry Perl or (2) build perl myself using Visual C.
ActiveState works, but I didn't even know that CPAN existed until I was on
Linux. And what's Perl without CPAN?
