I used CPAN to install the PDL modules on a G5 running 10.3.1 with the standard version of Perl (5.8.1).
The install was mostly successful, as indicated by the summary:
Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- t/dumper.t 16 6 37.50% 10-12 14-16 1 test and 75 subtests skipped. Failed 1/85 test scripts, 98.82% okay. 5/649 subtests failed, 99.23% okay. make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2
The test that failed (dumper.t ) gave the following explanation:

The v-string and precedence warnings appear for most of the other tests, which were successful.
I looked at the dumper.t code, and can't make any sense of the error messages it produced.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
