Hi, I do not have a preference for ActivePerl over Strawberry. The same is for windows over linux. There is a problem on having all together working. I had issues with pdl on ubuntu (dynaloader on 5.10) while on windows the setup of pre packed was successful. So I have some oddities on windows where it runs and problems with pdl on Linux where other parts are native.

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? David -- Sent via my carrier pigeon.
