let me add my support for what tye said

Yep - the file in question has now been amended in line with tye's recommendation, and all is well.
Interestingly enough, that file had been in that state since 1998, and had produced no ill effects (afawk). There was even one abomination that did essentially this: 
void
foo(x,dims)
    pdl *x
    PDL_Long *dims = NO_INIT
    CODE:
          dims = bar(ST(1));
          ...

[download]
'dims' (the 2nd argument supplied to foo) is an SV* ... but then there's a second 'dims' which is a PDL_Long*.
Dunno how that worked ...

ExtUtils::ParseXS 3.XX just became strict in telling you about the problem in your code

Which is a good thing - though it didn't exactly complain in the right way.
It merely told us that there was no typemap entry for PDL_Long*. And, sure enough, inserting a typemap entry for PDL_Long* fixed the problem, though that's the wrong fix.

Cheers,
Rob
