 The `pgplot` graphics library libpgplot is installed in `/Applications/PDL/pgplot`, libraries are in `/Applications/PDL/lib` and executables are in `/Applications/PDL/bin`. Usage from PDL should be transparent. You can also build and link your own C and Fortran programs against these `pgplot` libraries if you wish and it ought to work.
 
+# Perl module versions
+
+The current version numbers of the important stuff within SciPDL are:
+
+```
+VERSION_PDL=2.093
+VERSION_PERL=5.40.0
+VERSION_PGPLOT=2.35
+VERSION_EXTUTILS_F77=1.26
+VERSION_GSL=2.8
+VERSION_CFITSIO=4.5.0
+VERSION_ASTRO_FITSIO=1.18
+VERSION_ASTRO_FITS_HEADER=3.09
+VERSION_FFTW=3.3.10
+VERSION_PDL_FFTW3=0.20
+```
+
+# Minor caveats
+
+Because this is MacOS the code is all signed and notarised and has a hardened runtime. So it is quite locked down.
 
+In the latest releases I have found a way to give the perl binary a library loading 'entitlement', so installing your own stuff on top of SciPDL (e.g. with `cpan -i`) will work. However see this [caveat.](../../issues/3)
