A blast from the past! :-)

This is a general reply to etj, soonix and NERDVANA who commented on, and discussed, my post from well over three years ago. Thankyou very much for the continued interest.

I've tried many times over the years to install PDL (on my Cygwin platform) without success. I've just tried it again, with Perl v5.40.0, and it worked. It did have some problems with OpenGL modules — probably due to missing libraries — but I do have PDL and PDL::GSL::RNG.

So, a future exercise is to go through PDL::Course. That looks like a lot of work and not something I'll be doing this weekend. However, thanks for prompting me to try the PDL installation again. :-)
