I don't know how to do that easily. The best I can think of is to manipulate the perl5 library area directly: /ops/tools/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i686-linux-thread-multi/PDL/Graphics/PLplot.pm /ops/tools/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i686-linux-thread-multi/auto/PDL/Graphics/PLplot/* I know this is awfully ugly. Also, I've checked in updates to x20.pl which now is complete with support for plimagefr. This requires PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.42, which is now on CPAN. Its odd to be releasing so many CPAN versions, but I'm trying to do this in complete chunks in case I get called away by other priorities...
