Henning:
Thank you for your reply. I actually am not much in a hurry, as my code
runs perfectly on 2.4.5. However, 2.4.10 is much touted, and I'd like to
help out where I can.
I MUCH prefer a package built on one central system: that makes
debugging a lot easier for everyone.

Given the new features, as an Ubuntu user I'd like to use 2.4.10,
but I have only managed to install using (debian) packages.
The latest are actually quite old:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pdl
If you can wait for a few days, I'm preparing an upload for 2.4.10 to debian
unstable (I was waiting for libopengl-perl to get updated...).
Given the fact that I maintain a 'debian' dir within PDL's official
repository, you can build a new version of the PDL pkg:
1) type 'dch -i' within pdl's source tree to generate a new changelog entry
and adjust the version number as needed.
2) make sure you have all build-dependencies installed (with a deb-src line
in /etc/apt/sources.list, all you need is "apt-get build-dep pdl" as root)
3) call 'debuild' in pdl's source tree
by the way, there is a quite nice tool called 'pbuilder', which builds debian
packages within a 'clean' chroot with all neccesary build dependencies
satisfied; using its 'pdebuild' tool instead of 2 and 3 saves me a lot of
work.
Note: maybe I should write some proper instruction for the PDL build
instructions page;)
