Good, did you install both the pgplot-5.2 library *and* the PGPLOT.pm
perl module?

The PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT module will be built whether or not you
have the pgplot graphics library and the PGPLOT perl Module installed.
The skipped test suggests you are missing one of the *two* prereqs.

The PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT module is probably ok.  It is the PGPLOT
module (try search.cpan.org) that appears not to be installed.
Note, the PGPLOT module requires the pgplot graphics library be
installed.

The file DEPENDENCIES in the distribution lists what is required.
