Hi Chris: It was good to hear of your success on the Cygwin platform which is largely due to Arjen's hard work on making PLplot work smoothly on that platform. > I'm looking foward to using and > developing with the PLplot library and I would like to see the PDL/perl > bindings updated for the coming PDL-2.008 release this January. Please let us know if you have success evaluating PDL::Graphics::PLplot (see http://search.cpan.org/~dhunt/PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.67/). That is an external project that is developed independently by Doug Hunt. It was last released a year ago and is integrated completely with PDL rather than being an independent project that adds on to existing PDL capabilities. Because of that integration with PDL it is a bit complicated (see directions in examples/perl/README.perldemos) to build and install PDL::Graphics::PLplot to see if it is consistent with the latest version of PLplot (i.e., whether it works at all) or to see what if any PLplot functionality is missing from PDL::Graphics::PLplot. I got the procedure in examples/perl/README.perldemos to work three years ago on Linux and that test was for PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.55 (so many versions behind Doug's current work).
