Hello, I started teaching about PDL to some students. The first step is building PDL. When I install PDL in my account in my old laptop, everything runs smoothly, but in order to be illustrative I made a new account for myself and built it there under a perlbrew installation. It was nice that the process went quite smoothly for myself, and also for the students after installing some missing libraries. However, the pdl script failed. Apparently, Term::ReadKey is required but was not installed automatically. I guess it has to be added as a dependency to Makefile.PL, but I'm not sure.
Then, the list of demos was short. Running demo from my previous full installation I found a list of dependencies and after installing them, more demos appeared. In the old days there was a DEPENDENCIES or DEPENDENCY file listing all that was needed for the automatic installation of the many PDL subsystems. However, that file is gone. So my question is, how can a user/installer know what are the suggested subsystems to install and what are their dependencies? At least, what are the PDL subsystems that have a demo? There is PDL::Index and PDL::Modules, but it seems they list what is already installed, not what is available. Best regards, Luis -- o W.
