What I will do is look at building my own perl for inclusion with SciPDL. Ought 
to make it simpler. It has been at least a decade since I attempted anything 
like this so any advice appreciated! 

Anyone want to recommend a particular perl version? I see 5.22 is current, 5.21 
perhaps? Long term stability would be the main criterion.

Also I am wondering about putting the whole thing under /Applications/PDL and 
including a ‘launch terminal running pdl’ executable as an extra. Anyone have 
any experience with that sort of thing? If so email me privately.
