NAME

PDL::AutoLoader - MatLab style AutoLoader for PDL

SYNOPSIS

use PDL::AutoLoader;
$a = func1(...);   # Load file func1.pdl
$b = func2(...);   # Load file func2.pdl

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a MatLab style AutoLoader for PDL. If a unknown function 'func()' is called then a file 'func.pdl' is searched for and if found is read in to define 'func()' which is then executed.

Files are seached for using the directories in seach path @PDLLIB, which is initialised from the shell environment variable PDLLIB which is a colon seperated list of directories.

e.g. in csh

setenv PDLLIB "/home/kgb/pdllib:/local/pdllib"
