The module appears to have a dependency on IPC::Run
which built and installed ok on cygwin perl 5.10.1
and on SPP 5.12.3.0.

There's some tests that get skipped on Win32 in the IPC::Run test suite.
Whether that might lead to troubles on Win32 probably depends upon the actual IPC::Run capabilities that PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot wants to exploit.

Here's the IPC-Run-0.90 test suite results that I get:

#########################
t/adopt.t .................... skipped: adopt not implemented yet
t/binmode.t .................. ok
t/bogus.t .................... ok
t/filter.t ................... ok
t/harness.t .................. ok
t/io.t ....................... ok
t/kill_kill.t ................ skipped: Temporarily ignoring test failure on Win32 t/parallel.t ................. skipped: Parallel tests are dangerous on MSWin32
t/pty.t ...................... skipped: IO::Pty not installed
t/pump.t ..................... ok
t/run.t ...................... ok
t/signal.t ................... skipped: Skipping on Win32
t/timeout.t .................. ok
t/timer.t .................... ok
t/win32_compile.t ............ ok
t/windows_search_path.t ...... Constant subroutine IPC::Run::Win32_MODE redefined at t/windows_search_path.t line 11.
t/windows_search_path.t ...... ok
All tests successful.

In Gnuplot_demo.pm I had to get rid of the unix-centric `which gnuplot` command. Then, having installed version 0.10ced of PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot and with gnuplot.exe in my path, I tried running the following script:

use PDL::Demos::Screen;
do "Gnuplot_demo.pm";
PDL::Demos::Gnuplot_demo::run();

That produced the following output:

##########################
---- Code:
 # ensure that the module is loaded
 use PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot;

 # Create a Gnuplot object - the default device displays on most
 # operating systems.  (No plot window yet - just the object).

 $w = gpwin();

 # Create variables to plot
 $x = xvals(1000);
 $y = $x/1000 * sin($x/10);

---- Output:

##########################

At that point nothing else happens, and I have to Ctrl-C to get back to a command prompt.

Haven't had time to look any further.

Cheers,
Rob
