1.76_01 is now a bit old, current stable version is 1.87. Would it be
asked too much that you upgrade? Between 1.7x and 1.8x the support for
multidot version numbers was improved way big. During 1.7x support for
multidot was always buggy because version.pm was not yet written.
Just to prove what I say, I took 5.8.6-RC1 which I have lying around
with CPAN.pm 1.83. With that I installed PDL 2.4.2 and then I could
produce this:
Show quoted textcpan> m PDL
Module id = PDL

Show quoted textcpan> install PDL
Running install for module PDL
Running make for C/CS/CSOE/PDL-2.4.3.tar.gz
CPAN: checksum security checks disabled because Digest::SHA not installed.
Please consider installing the Digest::SHA module.
Caught SIGINT
The SIGINT came from my keyboard:)
If you cannot upgrade, you can work around this by saying
Show quoted textcpan> install C/CS/CSOE/PDL-2.4.3.tar.gz
Thanks for your report & Regards,
