Furthermore, even if we distribute data with PDL, we don't have an easy way to get at it. As such, I think (1) we should choose a specific place to put image data and (2) we should create a module for accessing that data. To give an idea of how this module might look, I've attached a module I used in a talk I gave about PDL that simplified the access of M51 for me. Getting back to the topic, we cannot do #2 for 2.4.10 since said module wouldn't be allowed (we're in code freeze). We *can* discuss and agree on a location where we put images and other data for 2.4.10, and for 2.4.11 we can create a module or set of modules for accessing that data. I'm not sure where we should put images, but I expect that imgs/trid::recipes/img01.png won't work for Windows, but a minor variant might: imgs/trid-recipes/img01.png. Where would these images be installed? I suggest PDL::Data, i.e. site_perl/<perl-version>/<OS-version>/PDL/Data/TriD/Recipes/img01.png, which is basically where MakeMake will put it if we tell it to create a PDL::Data::TriD::Recipes directory.
