Thanks Cliff. This is definitely a build failure for my module, so I'm going to file an issue on my github repo. I will keep you in the loop, but I don't want to bother the PDL or Prima lists with details.
However, if others encounter similar issues, feel free to email me or file an issue on the github trackers: PDL::Drawing::Prima - https://github.com/run4flat/PDL-Drawing-Prima/issues?di PDL::Graphics::Prima - https://github.com/run4flat/PDL-Graphics-Prima/issues?di App::Prima::REPL - https://github.com/run4flat/App-Prima-REPL/issues Thanks!
