You can use the PERLCOLS option.
perldl> ($a,$b,$c,$d,$e,$f,$g,$name) = rcols "filename", 0,2,3,4,5,6,7,
{ PERLCOLS => [1], TYPES => [ ushort, ushort, ushort, double, ushort,
ushort, double ]}
Reading data into piddles of type: [ Ushort Ushort Ushort Double Ushort
Ushort Double ]
Read in 6 elements.
perldl> p @$name
Halden Moss Sarpsborg Fredrikstad Hvaler Aremark
perldl> p $g
[58.34 3.62 10.94 0.6 20.77 44.03]
The names will end up in a referenced perl array, the rest will be in
pdls.
Cheers,
Trevor.
