First thing I notice with p.txt is that none of the pre-requisites (OpenGL, Astro-FITS-Header, Inline) are installed in /usr/bin/perl. I'm starting to seriously consider the possibility that the cpan shell you were using was, in fact, attached to ActivePerl. Are OpenGL, Inline and Astro-FITS-Header installed in ActivePerl ?

As regards m.txt, the failure occurs because the the path to your working directory contains spaces in it - ie the two spaces in "Documents and Settings". I think this may have been fixed in the git source. Best thing to do would be to build PDL in a directory that doesn't contain any spaces in its name - then you might have success.

But first, install Parse::RecDescent (needed by Inline), Inline (agree to the prompt during the perl Makefile.PL stage to install Inline::C), Astro-FITS-Header and OpenGL. Use the same "manual" method as you've just tried with PDL and see how it goes. I'm not sure about OpenGL with Cygwin, but the rest should build and install fine with perl Makefile.PL, make test and make install. If OpenGL won't build, just skip it for the moment, and we can come back to it later.

Cheers,
Rob
