Hi Folks,

I am struggling to understand the slice indexing syntax for $a->slice(a:b:c). I 
did this in perldl shell:

pdl> $a=sequence (3,10);p $a

[
 [ 0  1  2]
 [ 3  4  5]
 [ 6  7  8]
 [ 9 10 11]
 [12 13 14]
 [15 16 17]
 [18 19 20]
 [21 22 23]
 [24 25 26]
 [27 28 29]
]

pdl> p $a(1,0:9:2)

[
 [ 1]
 [ 7]
 [13]
 [19]
 [25]
]
and it worked like I expected it to.

I then put it in to my script

 foreach (0..5) {
 print $pic;
 $iob4 = $pic('0','$_:$picSize-1:6');
 print "iob4 is $iob4 of size ",nelem($iob4),"\n";
and i only get a single value - the first one:

[
 [5.7863319e+008 5.5061404e+008]
 [5.7863344e+008 5.5635026e+008]
 [ 5.790996e+008 5.3051317e+008]
 [5.7875504e+008 5.3033015e+008]
 [5.7936432e+008  5.277951e+008]
 [5.7675125e+008 5.6184104e+008]
 [5.7871172e+008 5.5064908e+008]
 [ 5.786631e+008 5.5618585e+008]
 [5.7911588e+008 5.3037927e+008]
 ...
 [5.7905481e+008 5.2330437e+008]
 [5.7738847e+008  5.607879e+008]
 [5.7844745e+008 5.5221171e+008]
 [5.7900191e+008 5.5709251e+008]
 [5.7942135e+008 5.2928743e+008]
 [5.7908425e+008  5.286075e+008]
 [5.7902203e+008 5.2338163e+008]
 [ 5.774559e+008 5.6077705e+008]
]
iob4 is
[
 [5.7863319e+008]
]
 of size 1
Where I expected to get the first column with every 6th entry starting from the 
first element in the column.
What am I doing wrong.


Also I have

use PDL::NiceSlice;

in the script, I still need to use ' ' around the values when running the 
script in Windows (win32 ActiveState Perl 5.10). I am debugging it in Eclipse 
with the EPIC plugin, and have also tried it at the command line with the same 
results.


Thanks,
