the "help" command provided in the perldl shell cannot find any documentation. This makes it hard to determine which functions are available, and their syntax. Even help 'help' and help 'perldl' fail with a "Unable to find PDL docs on perldl". Just typing "help" works, and returns a screen with usage information, so the help facility itself does not appear to be broken---the documentation is just not there. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.perldl 2.help help 3.help PDL::IO Actual Results: "Unable to find PDL docs on <foo>" Expected Results: Uh, shown the documentation :)
Which version of PDL? The doc's are included in the source package. So they really should have installed on your system. I looked at the PDL site and it appears that you may need to specify in perldl.conf. Perhaps the doc's are there but the shell just can't find them.
reopen if this is still an issue, but as OP never responded to last post, closing for lack of comment and severe age.
