in thread PDL installation

I got 2.4.6 for PDL version and I was able to use perldl shell. Thanks a lot for your help.

Do you have any suggestion on how I can fix my CPAN, so that if I want to install other modules in future I can use the autoinstall and I don't have to do it manually?

You have been very helpful. Thank you.

    It would still be a good idea to check on the implications of that final error you got (on the PDL maiking list) .... unless someone here provides advice about that.

    I haven't been able to get my head around what's going on there, and I don't know much about the CPAN shell anyway.
    As an alternative to actually entering into the CPAN shell, you could just run cpan -i module but I expect that will give you the same results. See if you can work out which perl your cpan shell is attached to - if your version of CPAN allows it, do a force install of Astro::FITS::Header (cpan -fi Astro::FITS::Header) and take note of the paths into which it installs.
    Remove ActivePerl from the system path, then open a fresh Cygwin bash shell and see if that makes any difference.

    Then, if you still have issues with the CPAN shell, I'd start a fresh thread here about that. (But the more information you can provide about precisely what's going wrong, the better our chances of solving it.)

    Cheers,
