Hello,

## Issues

Looking at the last remaining blockers for the PDL v2.008 release in the
bug tracker, it looks like only two are still not in the master[^1]:

> SF#332 "isn't numeric in null operation" warning could be more helpful

This one is patched in the `pdl-eq-with-string-warning` branch and just
needs review and merging <https://github.com/PDLPorters/pdl/pull/63>.

> SF#268 PLplot still unusable with X

I had sent an e-mail with some information about how I tried to
reproduce this issue 2 days ago 
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.pdl.devel/6212/focus=6363>.
This seems closed to me. A patch to Makefile.PL for P::G::PLplot might be 
necessary.

## CPAN Testers

Looking at the failing builds on CPAN Testers 
<http://cpantesters.org/distro/P/PDL.html?grade=1&perlmat=2&patches=2&oncpan=2&distmat=3&perlver=ALL&osname=ALL&version=2.007_12>,
I see two categories of failures:

- make fails at PDL::Core::Dev::generate_core_flags() because
  ExtUtils::Manifest is not found in @INC

  <http://cpantesters.org/cpan/report/b5ed53da-c66d-11e4-b221-9e126cbd7f71>
  <http://cpantesters.org/cpan/report/eb3f816a-c637-11e4-b221-9e126cbd7f71>

- t/opengl.t has a bad plan

  | t/opengl.t                (Wstat: 256 Tests: 2 Failed: 0)
  |   Non-zero exit status: 1
  |   Parse errors: Bad plan.  You planned 4 tests but ran 2.
