Hi,

I would do:

use v5.12;
use PDL;
use PDL::Constants qw(PI);
use PDL::IO::Misc;
# read all data, skip first row
my ($f, $M11, $A11, $M21, $A21, $M12, $A12, $M22, $A22)=rcols "rem.s2p",
{LINES=>"1:-1:1"};
my $rows=$f->nelem;
my $M=pdl($M11, $M12, $M21, $M22); # Indices: filerow, position
my $R=pdl($A11, $A12, $A21, $A22)*PI/180; #   filerow, position
my $S=$M*exp(i()*$R); #                filerow, position
my $Sm=$S->mv(0,-1) # position, filerow
      ->reshape(2,2, $rows); # column, row, filerow
say $f, $Sm, $Sm->info;

rcols would read all the data into columns. For each row $M and $R would
have the magnitudes and the angles in radians, and $S would have the
corresponding complex numbers. Then, for each row I rearrange the four
corresponding $S's into a 2x2 matrix by first getting the row index
out of the way and then doing a reshape. I ran it with a file

rem2.s2p:
Freq(MHz)  MagS11  AngS11  MagS21  AngS21   MagS12  AngS12   MagS22  AngS22
100         0.588   50.208  0.770   -35.964  0.770   -35.964  0.588   50.208
200         0.589   51.209  1.771   -34.965  1.771   -34.965  1.589   51.209
300         1       0       1       45       1       90       1       135

and obtained

[100 200 300]
[
 [
  [0.376321423329891+0.451803260659953i 0.623227336287862-0.452203148268051i]

  [ 0.707106781186548+0.707106781186547i -0.707106781186547+0.707106781186548i]
 ]
]
PDL: CDouble D [2,2,3]

In this case, the filerow index is the last one and I assume that the
indices in the filecolumn labels are in the usual row-column order, so
that, for example, the S12 element corresponding to frequency 300MHz
would be $S->at(1,0,2) (permute the 12 to 21, as pdl uses column index
first, and substract 1 to make the indices zero-based).

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Luis
