Hi Hernán,
Thank you for the feedback! Any further issues or concerns you see, please do
raise them. While PDL is pretty good now (at least so I believe), it can always
be better, and the best way for that to happen is for people to question
things. So please keep doing so, either on here, or
Thank you, Ed. I understand what you mean. I believe now that a previous
version of Alien::proj was indeed present so perhaps that was causing som
trouble. I also understand what you say about perldl.conf. I guess we can
consider this case closed and my questions answered. Thank you all for the
Hi Luis,
The current plan isn’t to make changes to the structure of PDL in any case,
since (after some painful fixes to the Fortran stuff a couple of months ago for
32-bit systems) there is no maintenance effort for the Fortran stuff.
Regardless, it’s reassuring that you’d be content with such
Hi Hernán,
Great to hear your local issue is sorted – thank you to you and Shawn!
PDL absolutely will build without Alien::proj. Problems will only arise if it

(“perlbrew” is my recommended tool) with no Alien::proj

That's a good option.

It would be useful to be able to build PDL without the proj-dependent
components. This could maybe be done using an environment variable, or an
argument passed to the ```perl Makefile.PL``` call. Ed would be better
placed to comment on this aspect.
Alien::proj will not attempt to build from
Hello Shawn
Thanks for your answer.
I am not trying to build Alien::proj. I just would like to tell PDL not
to care about it. How is it that up to 2.027 this wasn't a problem but
it suddenly is in 2.028? I will dig a bit on this and try to find out. I
have a dislike of Alien::* since it will
