in reply to Getting CPAN.pm to accept Makefile.PL prompts

There's PDL configuration files: perldl.conf discussed in INSTALL and .perldl.conf discussed in FAQ - INSTALLATION that may be of help.

The latter has "Multiple PDL installs in the same PATH or @INC can cause puzzling test or build failures." which rather suggests this is a known issue.

    Yes, it's a known issue for some cases ... but not for me.

    I think it affects some nix-type systems, but it hasn't yet posed any problems for me on MS Windows (which is nice .... for a change :-)
