in reply to PGPLOT module install on win32
PGPLOT is a Fortran 77 graphics library (thus the F77). There is then a Perl XS (C) wrapper on top of that to let you get at it from Perl. Sounds complex? Correct. Here is the home page of the library http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/
To get it to work you will either need to find a precompiled PPM version somewhere on the web, or compile it yourself. Compiling it yourself will not be trivial. You are going to need a Fortran77 compiler and MSVC++.
See A Guide To Installing Modules and A Practical Guide to Compiling C based Modules under ActiveState using Microsoft C++ as a first step, then Google for how to compile the underlying Fortran library on Win32. Good luck. PodMaster takes requests for his repository. He may like to give it a bash.
