Note that the error message is coming from /usr/lib/.../FFTW.pm rather 
than the blib/ version which it should be coming from. I had 
half-written an email about this yesterday and then thought I was being 
overly pedantic so didn't bother. Looks like I was wrong.

I believe that we have problems with the test case when you are testing 
a PDL built without a module but your installed version of PDL has that 
module built. I found yesterday that I was getting this error for my 
builds without FFTW; 'perl -Mblib t/fftw.t' failed with this error but 
the FFTW tests should have been skipped. If I did 'perl t/fftw.t' then 
they passed (but then I was  testing my installed version so this isn't 
really surprising).

Hopefully this makes sense
