Dear Perl Monks,

I wanted to run an example from PDL Book http://pdl.perl.org/?page=FirstSteps and for that I needed PDL::Graphics::Simple module. I used Strawberry Perl PDL edition v.5.30.1 on Windows 10 and tried to install this module with cpanm PDL::Graphics::Simple function but encountered an error. The last lines of log file show that several tests failed:

Test Summary Report
-------------------
t/simple.t (Wstat: 1536 Tests: 85 Failed: 6)
  Failed tests:  5, 73-74, 78, 80, 82
  Non-zero exit status: 6
Files=1, Tests=85, 2 wallclock secs ( 0.05 usr + 0.00 sys = 0.05 CPU)
Result: FAIL
Failed 1/1 test programs. 6/85 subtests failed.
gmake: *** [Makefile:871: test_dynamic] Error 6
-> FAIL Installing PDL::Graphics::Simple failed.

I found that there were more people having problems with this module and CPAN Testers matrix shows many failures. Thanks for any help on how to solve this in order to run examples from PDL book.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
