I am happy to report that the PDL demo was a resounding success. There were about 7 folks familiar with Perl in a room of about 30. There were universal oooohs and ahhhs when I did the routines with m51 "Whirlpool galaxy." The point-in-poly stuff back-ending my web site also earned a few dazzled smiles.
So, thanks first to KGB and the rest of the gang. You have created an awesome, awesome tool. The PDL shell is an incredibly useful device to do presentations -- none of the Powerpoint crap... just plain PDL shell. Y'know what would be nicer -- colored syntax in pdl> shell. Trivia -- I know that installing NumPy/SciPy is a pain because I have tried to do so and failed. I was under the impression that Enthought binaries were free. Not so at all. Chris and others should be proud of making it easier and easier to install PDL with every iteration. And, everyone should be proud of keeping PDL's awesomeness free and open. I know a couple of three folks in the audience who indicated that they would try out SciPDL (thanks Matt). Another trivia -- in my research, I learned that piddles will become first-class citizens in Perl6. Does that mean that PDL will kinda get subsumed in mainstream Perl6? That would be really fantastic. Anyway, thanks everyone. I had a fun afternoon on the back of PDL.
