Hi Werner: Yes, all is well again for wxwidgets on both my systems.

So maybe it works but I couldn't test > it so far ;) The perl/pdl interface to PLplot was done by Rafael as part of the PDL project rather than our own, but he made the examples part of our project. I have no idea why he separated things that way, but the result on Linux is if you run the perl/pdl examples, it refers to an old PLplot library installed with perl/pdl rather than the current PLplot build. Also, I doubt very much that Rafael's work within the PDL project to make the PLplot bindings was done in a way that would work on windows which is probably the reason why you got an empty result. IIRC, he used some perl/pdl method of generating the interface and not SWIG. Since Rafael is no longer working on anything PLplot-related, I think the best solution here is to implement the perl/pdl binding within the PLplot project. That actually should be pretty straightforward since you could use SWIG to build the perl/pdl interface following the work done for our Python and Java interfaces. The result would work on both Unix and windows, and would get rid of the painful split between the perl/pdl binding done in an external project and the perl/pdl examples done within PLplot. If any perl/pdl expert here would like to volunteer to take this on, it would be great. > > Another outstanding issue in my opinion is the documentation of the new CBS. > There is the wiki right, but we should also update the documentation at least > before a 5.8.0 release.
