Did you catch what version of PDL was installed? If PDL::Graphics::PLplot is installed, then you should be able to run the PLplot perl examples, with a command of the form "perl x01.pl". If you get an error message along the lines of "Could not find module PDL::Graphics::PLplot" then they probably didn't come together. I'm unfamiliar with ActiveState directory structure, but on OS-X PDL::Graphics::PLplot can be found in /path/to/perl/libraries/PDL/ Graphics/PLplot. I suspect that the current ActiveState version of PDL is so old that it doesn't contain PLplot. If it does, then the problem is likely that it couldn't find the plplot library. You can figure out where its looking for the library by reading Makefile.PL in the PDL/Graphics/PLplot library, however I'm not sure how you recompile once you've given it the right path and library name. Cygwin might be the path of least resistance here. -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
