Thanks for the advise.
However, I cannot see any distribution offering perl-PDL-Graphics-PLplot.
Nevertheless, this package is still active
https://metacpan.org/pod/PDL::Graphics::PLplot
If I cannot compile for the source, how can I make it compatible with my
distribution?
cpanm PDL::Graphics::PLplotperl -MCPAN -e shell
install PDL::Graphics::PLplotIs this acceptable?Thank===========================================================================

Maybe, but I need to make it works. I have a key application based on this
package.
Usually failure to build from source (FTBFS) affects multiple distributions as well
as Apple open-source projects (macports, homebrew). A bit of searching should
tell you if the package is available in other distributions (debian is usually a good
place to start). The look in the source packages for patches that fix your issue.
I've been in a similar bind many times. You need to determine whether FTBFS
has a simple fix (which you may be able to steal from another distro) or will need
a major effort, in which case you should consider alternatives to the failing
application.
