Windows binaries for PGPLOT and PDL are available from: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ (perl 5.8) and http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx (perl 5.10) So, assuming Torben is running an ActiveState-type build of perl 5.10, and has a functioning ppm utility: ppm install Astro-FITS-Header then ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/PGPLOT.ppd then ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/PDL.ppd (If it's 5.8, just modify the url in the commands appropriately. If it's earlier than 5.8, then you're out of luck re PDL ... though I think I have 5.6 binaries for PGPLOT.) Those perl binaries need some dll's - the 'ppm install' process attends to that aspect, too !! (You'll be prompted to download them into one of your path folders.) Ooow ... just remembered, PGPLOT won't work on Windows on stock-standard 5.10.0, but it will work on ActiveState's most recent build of 5.10.0 (build 1002). And it will work on 5.10.1 when that is released. I can provide a patch to DynaLoader.pm if the PGPLOT module must be got working on stock-standard 5.10.0. Torben, if you have the pgplot C library, the PGPLOT module should build easily from source using the MinGW compiler. And PDL should build easily, too, using the same compiler. (I'd be interested in the details if you found that to *not* be the case.) If you want plplot on windows, then you'll probably have to use Cygwin - I don't know of a native windows plplot port (though I haven't looked for one for a while).
