See https://chocolatey.org/packages/gnuplot.

I have tried this approach and it does work (Windows 10, Strawberry Perl).

To get the new value for %PATH% after installing, one can do:

my $path_info = `RefreshEnv & path';

Is this as part of the Makefile.PL that offers to install?

Yes, I believe that was where I was thinking it should be at the time — I was suggesting this so that PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot would install automatically on Windows.

Though nowadays I handle system package installs outside of my Alien::* code.
