- How long have you used PDL?
2-3 months

- What PDL version do you use?
2.4.11, +

- Best thing(s) about PDL
  * very easy to run on muti-core. ++++
  * PDL interactive shell
  * very responsive community

- Worst thing(s) about PDL
  * hard to find functionality, what I mean is if you don't know how
to do something it is very hard to lookup keywords across multiply
docs, FAQ's and book to find how to do it.

- I would use PDL more (or at all) if only ...
  * have some sort of apply() outside perl function, so that PDL
internalize it, so it run faster.... I've glossed over PP?..., seems
like complicated stuff.
  * ability in PDL-shell to reload/re-use module without exiting the shell.
  * more integrated statistics capability
  * unified graphics interface (just a thought, I know it is not
possible across so may divergent backends)

- Any suggestions for PDL development?
  * ++ bit-field piddles..for high performance bitwise operations ++
i.e. bit-type
  * Look into R-language to steal some ideas. (ggplot,factors,...)
  * SQL-like primitive ops, may be a cool idea.
