Is shadeplot what you're looking for?
I haven't looked into the differences between plshades and plimage in the PLplot library, but I just posted a patch that gives a PDL::Graphics::PLplot::imag using plimage. One caveat is that PLplot's image rendering (or at least plshades) is quite slow. I'm not sure that my routine gives any better performance.

See: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=alpine.DEB.2.00.0910060833590.32087%40ybpnyubfg.ybpnyqbznva&forum_name=plplot-general

    Also, FWIW we are still finding the PLPlot install process to be
    brittle.  Yum works on Fedora (except for issues surrounding the
    recent release, which jammed some of the servers), but compiling from
    source with the default config generally fails, complaining that we
    don't have an ada compiler on our machines.  Is there a non-documented
    approved way to install PLPlot that works out-of-the-box?


Not to my knowledge. I know they've put a lot of work into it, but I think it's one of those things where once a user gets it working, they stop caring about a reliable installation. Kinda like the situation with PDL. :-)
