Hi Alan: I've been working on the perl/PDL demos for the last couple of days. I noticed the problem with the deprecated plplot functions. When I'm done, I'll release a new version of PDL::Graphics::PLplot which detects the version of PLplot and does the right thing.
At that time, the instructions should be easier. Regards, Doug dh...@ucar.edu Software Engineer UCAR - COSMIC, Tel. (303) 497-2611 On Fri, 15 Apr 2011, Alan W.
