Yes, that solves the problem. I'll post the original code on the pdl-porters
list now, because it's Cholesky factorization code that I'd like to
contribute to PDL. The niceslice syntax considerably improves the
readability over the previous string-based slice syntax.

Thanks,
Steve

Nah, no need to post the original, I think.  I believe the problem is  
that you're
using the null-method syntax to call your sub ref.  The "$subref-> 
(@args)" syntax
is standard Perl but gets overloaded by NiceSlice -- constructs of  
that form get
changed to "$subref->nslice(@args)" by a source filter.

If you change your sub call to "&{$s}($x)" I believe it will work  
better.
