Hi Ingo, > I and my group use it daily for scientific use in medical imaging
Great to know. Yes, you won’t be able to update the main pdl repo yourself. A fork is the “normal” way to go about this. This looks like the branch you’re working on? https://github.com/PDLPorters/pdl/compare/master...fantasma13:nat_complex You’re quite right that PDLA isn’t quite ready to work off, but watch this space because that’s imminent. To use your local, non-installed copy there are two ways forward. One is just to use it in blib: make perl -Mblib myscript.pl # or perl –Mblib pdl2 An alternative model is just test-driven development; make a t/complexnatives.t file, put in there stuff you expect to work, then run it like this: make && prove -b t/complexnatives.t I use the second one myself, since you then have something that will permanently constrain the code to work the way you specify in the tests.

I and my group use it daily for scientific use in medical imaging. I have started work on native c-level complex numbers support. I tried to push to github, but I got this error: fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/PDLPorters/pdl/': The requested URL returned error: 403 So I had to create this fork: https://github.com/fantasma13/pdl.git I guess this is to be expected. It's still very much work in progress. I just managed to pass all tests. Bad value support is not implemented yet, that horribly failed. I have no idea if you can actually create a piddle yet. ;) Essentially I created a new entry in Types.pm.PL with c type complex double and included complex.h. The rest was weeding through errors and extensive use of GenericTypes in pp_def I am really missing proper complex number support. Let's see where we can get that. It's based on 2.019 PDL, I looked to base on PDLA but since it was behind the main PDL tree I chose against. Now I would really like to use and test the freshly made PDL from the build directory without having to make install it. in particular the pdl2 shell. Does anyone know how to do that? So far I failed.
