Hi Orion, all: I've just uploaded a new version of PDL-Graphics-PLplot to CPAN (v 0.57) which incorporates some fixes recently merged in from the the PDL source tree and also includes an improved plplot_library_tests.t.

This test now compiles and runs the C sources
from the plplot examples directory and compares them to the perl equivalent output instead of using canned C output for comparison.

This is currently only tested on Linux/Ubuntu! The compiling of these C sources may not work on Windows, for example.

Best Regards,

  Doug Hunt

I'm wondering if this is a fatally flawed test setup in that the C example
comparisons are pre-generated and shipped with PDL-Graphics-PLplot. I imagine some small differences between Doug's machine and mine would account for the
discrepancy.  Does this seem correct?


To answer my own question, if I compile and run the x01c example on my system I get the same as the perl output, but different then the shipped output. So I think you need to have the test build the C output as well on the testing machine.
