I have only used PDL::Prima::Simple's most simple features so far. I was hoping that some of the PDL::Graphics::* modules authors would want to chip in, add a line or two if they like, modify something, or add a code snippet if they want. But anyone can do this, really, the code is on Github.
I don't know how it gets included (or not) in the main branch though.
