I used the command perl -MCPAN -e "install PDL"

I can't supply a reason for the particular failure - I don't use CPAN.pm. However, there are 2 other alternatives for installing PDL on ActivePerl-5.10.0.

Firstly, you could run ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/PDL.ppd

Or, if you really want to build PDL from source, download the PDL-2.4.3 source from CPAN, extract it to some location, cd to that location, edit the file 'perldl.conf' to suit your needs, and run (in order) perl Makefile.PL, followed by make install.

Note that you need to replace 'make' with either 'nmake' or 'dmake' (depending upon which flavour you are using), that you could optionally run make test before running make install, and that you'll need a working C compiler and 'make' utility for this second approach to work. The ppm approach I outlined is probably the best approach for you ... but I'm making assumptions, now :-)

Cheers,
Rob
