I'm just getting started with PDL and I have a very dumb question, but I can't figure this out from the docs. How do I extract a pdl into a regular perl data structure, such as a 1 dimensional pdl array into a regular perl array?

All I can find is the 'at' command which will pull out a single scalar at a time, but I believe firmly that the perl that I know and love wouldn't make me manually iterate over all the elements of a pdl to extract the data.
