Hi Monks,

This is my first time using PGPlot. I'm trying to run the examples from various tutorials around the web. For the most part, things tend to work as advertised with Knoppix, and Perl. But I can't seem to get this line to work: 
perldl> use PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT;

Can't locate loadable object for module PGPLOT in @INC (@INC contains:
+ /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr
+/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /us
+r/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/PDL/Graphics/PGPLOT/Window

I've tried this on several different machines, using Knoppix 5.3.1 and Knoppix 5.1.1. They come back with the same, or similar error. I went to CPAN to try to download and install PGPlot, but when I try this, I get: 
$ perl Makefile.PL

+_perl) at Makefile.PL line 11.

I don't know what to make of these errors. Any help?

Thanks,
