Hi Orion:

This is mostly directed to you, but I hope Doug will take an interest
in this thread as well.

What do you get when you run the following command from the command line:

perl -MPDL::Graphics::PLplot '-e print "$PDL::Graphics::PLplot::VERSION\n"'

?

I think Doug recommended this command previously to me to determine module
version, but if he has a better/more reliable suggestion now for determining
the PDL::Graphics::PLplot version, that would be great.

I just downloaded and installed version 0.51 of Doug's PLplot module from
CPAN, and the result I get from the above command is 0.51 (as expected).
Previously I had downloaded and installed version 0.47 of the same module
and version determination worked the same way for that version as well.  So
I think the above command to determine version should normally be working 
for version 0.50 on Fedora as well.

Anyhow, let me know the results of the above command (which is also used in
cmake/modules/pdl.cmake to figure out the module version), and we can take
it from there.

Alan
