Hm, the version I used worked just fine for the astronomy physics user I have built
it for. Maybe it was fixed in a later version (2.20)? Could you check it from here:
http://gnu.ethz.ch/debian/pgplot-perl/
I guess i'll have to move it into non-free and rename it to libpgplot-perl for
Debian inclusion... but first I need to find a sponsor (maybe the perl debian group)
