FWIW, I don't PDL, but if I did, I'd ask: What type of piddle? this suggests size limits beyond available memory http://pdl.perl.org/PDLdocs/Core.html#howbig `$size = howbig($piddle->get_datatype);` [download] Maybe you can assign to nelem? OTOH zentara says in RFC: PDL Cheat Sheet that PDL has a limit set of 30000 elements that 30k	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you. I found what I was looking for in the PDL cheat sheet.There is a module to print any size piddle and override the 30000 elements limit.	[reply]

To change the size of a PDL ndarray, use `$pdl->setdims(\@newdims)`. There are no limits to ndarray size other than available RAM, and to avoid that limit, you can use PDL::IO::FastRaw for memory-mapping a disk file (though you can't resize that - but you could make a bigger one and copy data over).
