I'm confused about the limit on the size of piddles. Could you give an example? I was not aware that there was any limit besides the OS limits (32bit vs 64bit) and maybe the availability of contiguous memory. > Single datasets exceed this limit and reverting to perl loops sort of > removes the performance gain of threading (maybe), besides making coding > ugly, and adding additional (programming) complexity. If there is such a limit, I would consider it a bug (at least on 64bit OSes). If it is not reported, then it cannot be fixed. > Is there a way to enable PDL to handle bigger pdls?

Maybe another user with such an OS could comment. BTW, you might want to add the output of your perl -V and the OS information for your platform.
