One starting place would be similar write ups for NumPy and
Matlab such as:

   http://www.scipy.org/NumPy_for_Matlab_Users
   http://mathesaurus.sourceforge.net/

I would also like to see something like a PDL::Matlab module
implementing some common matlab functions in PDL.  It would
mostly be syntactic sugar but would be a big help for folks
just starting or needing to interact with matlab users or having
to use both on a regular basis.  For example, some roughly
equivalent functions (in some contexts):

   size(X)  <-> $X->dims
   eye(n)   <-> identity($n)
   ones(n)  <-> ones($n)
   sum(A)   <-> $A->sumover
   dot(A,B) <-> inner($A,$B)
   reshape  <-> reshape

A similar reference for NumPy users might also be helpful.
