Re: [Perldl] Let us Kvetch!

[Jan Hoogenraad]

As a simple user (not PDL developer), running about 4 processors 
full-time with PDL code (yes: I USE PDL), I have not used CPAN at all, 
not will do so in the near future.
I have tried PDL from CPAN, but after it started downloading hundreds of 
packages (including half of perl, which it deemed outdated), it still 
did not run with my pre-compiled perl. So I gave up on that.
I never use PDL plotting.

For stability & configuration management, I use Ubuntu (=debian) 
packages. (current version: PDL v2.4.5 (supports bad values))

I love modularized perl, and only use pre-compiled packages.
Using modularized PDL, I can use debian dependency management so select 
either versions with plotting (which then should automatically load PDL 
core), or the number-crunching I need.

I would highly support a modularized PDL, with a lean core and a
Task::PDL which pull everything we are used to from `cpanm PDL`. If
even for the testing purposes.
