What is "PDL"?
PDL (``Perl Data Language'') gives standard Perl <http://www.perl.org>
the ability to compactly store and speedily manipulate the large
N-dimensional data arrays which are the bread and butter of scientific
computing.
I didn't build this system, so I'm not sure why it's there.
This seems to be a perl configuration problem and I would appreciate
some assistance in solving it. I have installed all of the other pieces.
Options:
* You can try to install Pod::Usage by downloading it from CPAN.
I think I will try this.
* Added /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i586-linux/PDL to your
PERL5LIB search path.
I tried to add it via a wrapper script and the install failed in a
different way.
* Upgrade perl, later version have the module as part of the standard
distribution.
I am having trouble getting later versions to compile cleanly. I am
investigating the problem. Is there a minimum version of Perl which is
necessary for mharc?
* Download the latest apply-config script from CVS. I just checked-in
changes so Pod::Usage is only loaded when -help or -man is specified.
Hence, the script should run as long as you do not use those options
(note, the install.pl script calls apply-config, so this is the
reason you are getting the error).
I'll try this if I can get POD installed or that doesn't work.

Thank you for the prompt response.
