Hi,
it seems to me that recently the system update is growing to be too much invasive. Forgetting for a moment that ubuntu as other linux dists are free, if the updates/repos become the preferred way to manage the systems also showing files as perl-modules or new base perl versions (within the major 5.14) as updates, as I see in this 12.10, SO they should be updated at the 'right' speed. As this is obvioulsy IMpossible with perl / cpan the conclusion is that this cannot work. The current 11.04 supplied about all the system packages needed to interface with Perl, and starting that I used cpan to build and update the baseline.

Just as I have a software still using SQL2000 (...), there is a reasonable outlook to something similar with my Ubuntu 11.04, that is the latest edible in the landscape.

Thanks

I just use the Ubuntu PDL package.
It's an old version of PDL, but stable, and it works fine.

Hi,
I have a working 11.04 VM, fully configured (it is old only what doesn't
give expected results) , but was looking at 12.10 to evaluate a future
move.
I made a perl Makefile.PL to check what was needed to get all the Yes in
building as I made with the current setup

I am finding problems with TriD and GD among others as I cannot find
packages to support also other config parts (more than the -dev part of
the story)
I am getting also issue with the direct Math::GSL setup (beyond the
harmless test on characters).

Is there some report about PDL on this version of Ubuntu, showing many
updated interpretation on some packages/functionality, that seem not
matching as before?

Thanks
