Compare this Perldl2 session segment: PDL> package hello PDL> $var = 3 PDL> package main PDL> p $var Use of uninitialized value $_[0] in print at (eval 312) line 5. PDL> p $hello::var 3 with this one from perldl: perldl> package hello perldl> $var = 3 perldl> package main perldl> p $var 3 perldl> p $hello::var perldl> The lexical context is also preserved across command lines with Perldl2. What it boils down to is that the Perldl2 shell supports more of Perl syntax and usage with PDL as compared with perldl which supports PDL programs with Perl syntax partially supported. Not really an issue for using PDL but definitely nice to have for more general program development with Perl and PDL...
