I guess I solved my problems:
I made a small script to copy pdl's typemap to the directory
containing the .pd file:
our $VERSION = '0.008';
# Copy pdl's typemap to this directory
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Copy;
use PDL::Core::Dev;
my $file=PDL::Core::Dev::PDL_TYPEMAP;
my $detination="lib/Photonic/typemap"; #where .pd file lives
copy($file, "lib/Photonic/typemap")
or die "Copy of $file to typemap failed: $!";
Then I modified the PMCode adding explicitly the PDL:: namespace as follows.
pp_def('test',
Pars=>'a(); [o] b();',
PMCode => q{
sub PDL::test { #
my ($a)=@_;
$b=PDL->null;
PDL::_test_int($a, $b);
}
},
Code=> q{
$b()=2*$a();
},
);
As I understand, when .pd files are compiled by PP the populate the
PDL:: namespace, but the routine defined in the PMCode was actually
defined in the package's own namespace, not in the PDL
namespace. Maybe a note in the documentation of PDL::PP might help.
Best regards,
Luis
