When reporting this kind of thing, it's very helpful (and really, essential) to include the output of perl -V.

But I agree with Athanasius that a much better way forward is to start with the latest Strawberry Perl PDL edition. If the PDL that comes with it isn't the latest and shiniest one, you are more or less guaranteed to be able to update its PDL with cpanm. If not, please report that on PerlMonks, or open a GitHub issue (or send email to one of the mailing lists, or join the IRC channel).
