I tried installing PDL using cpan against:

This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 0 (v5.32.0) built for MSWin32-x
+64-multi-thread
[download]

on a Windows 10 machine. My experience was similar except that I noticed lots of pointer/integer size warnings and various other issues that may be 64bit compile related. The (almost) last part of the output contains lots of stuff like:

which doesn't look very encouraging. Before that there is what, to my inexperienced eye, looks like a shit ton of link errors for process management code. I suspect there is no trivial fix hanging in the wings.

However, unless you have put your Perl scripts in an unfortunate place, there should be no issue of clobbering your code installing a new version of Perl so maybe the Strawberry canned PDL version is worth a try? You can always copy your Perl scripts some place safe before you start just to be sure.

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond
