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
