I sort of got into PDL because it sounded a very interesting way to do data
manipulation. But I found it very hard to get going. I also found it was
hard to find stuff unless you exactly knew what you where doing and what it
was named. It was also very hard to find example scripts. I love example
scripts it is how I learn stuff.
My problem was that most of my files where in comma delimited format or
from relational databases ( which I used a dbi modules to get). I really
wanted example of how to get data from the following sources into PDL. But
I found it hard to find resources and also ran out of time. So I didn't
end up doing it.

Re: PDL Getting Started book Re:

As a newbie user, I can attest to the need- the POD is pretty good, but
it's like a dictionary: you need to know what to look for in order to
find it!
I'd happily volunteer as a guinea pig for testing drafts on.
