I didn't investigate what's wrong with OP's code and how to use Math::GSL for the task, but

I would have expected either PDL::Basic's hist or PDL::NDBin to accommodate user-provided ranges, in line with your requirement, but it seems neither of them do.

I think you are wrong here, see Variable-width bins
