Hi Doug: I appropriately changed our build/test system (as of revision 11735) to be consistent with PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.55 and your example updates. Here are the diff results that can now be obtained from the test_diff_psc target in the build tree: perl Missing examples : Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : These perfect standard test results confirm the perfect results you have obtained using alternative means, and this means all our languages now have perfect diff results for the first time ever. (YES!!!) We now enable testing of the Perl/PDL examples by default, but we turn off that testing unless PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.55 (or later) is installed since trying to do limited testing of any prior version of PDL-Graphics-PLplot just isn't worth it any more. Please take a look at examples/perl/README.perldemos which I have now modified to be consistent with PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.55. Those updated instructions are slightly simpler than before (a patch for PDL-Graphics-PLplot is no longer required) but the PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.55 build and install still remains rather complicated. Did you have to go through all those steps yourself, or is there a simpler way to build and install PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.55 that I am unaware of? The above perfect Perl/PDL diff results have been made possible by your effort to bring PDL-Graphics-PLplot and the Perl/PDL examples into consistency with the latest PLplot. Thanks for that effort!
