moin Konstantinos, afaik, builtin support only includes PDL::Char, which is restricted fixed-length strings encoded as byte-values (e.g. ASCII). There's also Zakariyya Mughal's Data::Frame which seems capable of handling variable-length strings, but I'm unclear on the details; perhaps he can chime in. Whenever I need to do something like this (very often, since I work with text data), I usually end up building an extra hash+array pair for mapping back and forth between strings and integer-IDs, and let PDL work with just the IDs. Not pretty, but it works.
