Thanks. I use PREREQ_PM for all my other modules. The problem with this
one is that CPAN.pm will try and install all of PDL rather than just
PDL::Options even though PDL::Options has been separated out from PDL for
convenience and has its own distribution (it's in my authors directory).
I thought it was impolite to force the install of PDL (a very large
package) purely for PDL::Options.
PDL::Options does the options handling (synonyms, minium matching etc)
for PDL but does not require PDL.
Maybe I should ask Andreas to tweak the indexing so that PDL::Options is
picked out specially.
