Perl and IDL

PopeFelix has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

(forgot to log in when I originally posted this) Are there any published interfaces between Perl and Research Systems, Inc.'s IDL (Interactive Data Language)?

To the best of my knowledge there isn't a Perl/IDL API available. You could, of course, just open a pipe to `idl` - but you're probably after something a tad more integrated ;-) You could try asking on comp.lang.idl and comp.lang.idl-pvwave. If most of your stuff is in Perl, and it's appropriate for your application, you might want to consider using PDL instead.	[reply] [d/l]
