+--------------------------------------------------------+ | WARNING! | | This release uses an experimental version of the | | PDL::NiceSlice module based on Filter::Simple that | | is being debugged for platform and module version | | issues. To use the legacy code, just set your | | PDL_NICESLICE_ENGINE environment variable to the | | value Filter::Util::Call instead of Filter::Simple | | | +--------------------------------------------------------+
Building _008 with the Filter::Simple engine, I find that PGPLOT/Window.pm is still unloadable. (Same problem as with _006.) No other problems to report !! (I'll rebuild using Filter::Util::Call later on, just to check there's no problems there.) Chris, if you want to install PGPLOT on *any* of the Strawberry Perl's that you have, then the attached script should do the trick. (It needs PAR::Dist::InstallPPD which is included with recent versions of Strawberry. Not sure if strawberry's 5.12 has that module, but this problem can be seen on *any* version of perl supported by PDL.)Recent Strawberry Perls also have a ppm utility - so you could install PGPLOT using ppm. On some Strawberry Perl's however, the sisyphusion repo setting is incorrectly specified - so you first have to open perl/vendor/ppm.xml and check that it contains:
<REPOSITORY LOCATION="http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm"; NAME="Sisyphusion" SUMMARYFILE="searchsummary.ppm" />
(Typically, they contain the wrong location and wrong summary file - though the error has perhaps been rectified in the latest Strawberry builds.)
With PGPLOT installed, it's then a matter of re-building PDL - no additional configuration needed.I can apply the same hack as I did with _006 and that "fixes" the problem with PGPLOT/Window.pm - but the fact that Window.pm is still affected in this way means that there could also be user code out there somewhere that's similarly affected.
The striking difference with Window.pm (as compared to the other files that were giving problems on _006) is that it was the only file that needed a "no PDL::NiceSlice;".
Cheers, Rob
