Hi,
I am attempting to tie the "shogun" package to PDL.
"shogun" has already many classes used in PDL, mainly of course, data
formats, but also IO classes, so those packages are a tat similare.
however PDL is for data parsing, while "shogun" is more for developing
algorithms using data.

so far I managed a rough interface (it links!), but I am still not
very confident in the inner guts of the wrappers.

I am looking for advices or support from a PDL experts but
particularely nice source code examples for specific usage.

I found somewhat the pdl-api is missing a few goodies and I would not
mind any expert in the art of PDL show some example of use of...: 

- affine functions used for parsing PDL structures?

- pdl-api for inline operations

- strings , storage or RV referenced perl-objects in pdl ?

- pdl-api for slices ?

- best use of the "threading"

- relations beetween pdl data, datasv , sv, hdrsv. 

- sparse format (sparse vector, matrix, n-gram...) (ie:  map/hash (or tie) of 
arrays index/ranges
to pdl.data )

- sub - pdl organisation ?

I have somewhat partial answers to a few of those, but might not be
the best and the pretiest!

also I have two ways to embed te packages: do I wrap PDL into "shogun" or
vice versa? (the first I am using a "swig - perl" wrapper, but for the
other I suppose one has to use the wonderfull .PL mechanisme!)

please, if you are interrested to develop a wrapper likewise, I am
happy to send you my 'git' project, or please share your examples....

Thanks for your time.
