Hi guys,

Here is an idea:

* Make a statically-compiled version of the PDL module and shell.
* Bundle it with the Padre stand-alone distribution.
* Ship it and call it "Stand-Alone PDL".

Now, like magic, we get the "one click install" we have been dreaming about.

The Padre project already makes a stand-alone distribution that
includes Perl itself and the core modules. Provided that we can
statically compile PDL, it seems to me like it should be /easy/ to
bundle it:

1. Unzip the Padre distribution.
2. Put the PDL directory inside perl/lib
3. Put the pdl shell inside perl/bin
4. On the top-level directory add two shell scripts:
    - 'pdl' calls the pdl shell with the appropriate parameters and path.
    - 'pdl-ide' calls Padre.

What do you think?

Daniel.
