As I understood the issue from Ellen's first message, the problem is 
that Athena is not able to find the modules "PDL::Lite" (which should be 
installed when "PDL" is installed) and/or "PDL::Stats::GLM".

If I force Athena to fail to load one of them, then selecting "Principle 
Components Analysis" from the main menu will look like the first attachment.

If Athena can find those two modules, the selecting "Principle 
Components Analysis" will look like the second attachment.

The test in Athena is really simple.  If those two modules can be loaded 
successfully, then the PCA tool will display properly.  If not, that 
message is the graceful fall back.  My guess is that one or both of 
those perl modules is not being found on Ellen's computer.

A simple way to test from the command line whether the modules can be 
loaded is to do

     perl -e 'use PDL::Lite'
or
     perl -e 'use PDL::Stats::GLM'

If they cannot be found, then perl spits up an error message.  If  they 
can, then nothing happens.
