PDL installation to Windows fail.
I try to install PDL to Windows, but I can't install PDL to Windows.
I try to install in Active Perl and Strawberry Perl.
1. Active Perl(5.16.3 32bit and PDL 2.007)
Installation of ppm is ok, but install by cpan fail.
cpan PDL
The reason is error of Devel-CheckLib-1.01. assertlib error popup and test fail.

3. The following page PDL installation process fail(ActivePerl 5.16.3 64bit)
I can't PDL by ppm in the following documentation.

I'm Perl Programmer. I LOVE Perl. I want to contribute Perl community and Perl users.
I think the ActivePerl issue happens because you have Visual Studio installed and available in your global path and CheckLib being unable to deal with that. Try removing that and running `cpan` under ActivePerl to get it to install MinGW and dmake.
As for the Strawberry Perl issue, i think the warnings in slice.t are a red herring. Please run that test manually with `prove -bv t/slice.t` and see how far it gets, then report that in the PDL bug tracker.
Thanks. I will try it.
By the way, how to post PDL mailing-list? I don't understand the way to post mailing-list in the following page.
http://pdl.perl.org/?page=mailing-lists
blogs.perl.org is not a bugtracker. Please use the appropriate channels for that.

Chris Marshall, the current PDL release manager, is far and away the best resource for issues with PDL on Windows. It is best to send mail to the mailing list. To do that, you have to subscribe because anonymous mailing is not allowed. The relevant link is this: http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl. Fill out your email address and name. Pick a password if you like. Then hit subscribe. After you've done that, you should be able to send mail to the list. If you report this trouble to the mailing list, be sure to include your architecture and the versions of Perl you're trying. Also indicate if this is an install from CPAN or from the latest Git sources. For most PDL bugs, you should also include the full output of "perldl -V", but since pdl isn't installed on your system, you won't have perldl available.
I look forward to seeing your email on the list soon!
