That's good to hear - but does this add another dependency to most people's
Perl, or is it in the perl core?

This sounds very good - can this be done before the release?

My only caution would be the PGPLOT dependency required for making the
figure 'on the fly' as required.

Thinking about this more, do you mean that we'd put PDL::Book inside the
distribution with the *.png.PL scripts, but build the Book outside the
distribution with the images included?

Cheers,
