I tend to cite PDL with http://pdl.perl.org, and to include the version number. I also list all the contributors (in the current web page), like so:

K. Glazebrook, J. Brinchmann, J. Cerney, C. DeForest, D. Hunt, T. Jenness, T. Luka, R. Schwebel, and C. Soeller 2006: The Perl Data Language, v. 2.4.3, available online: http://pdl.perl.org

and (Glazebrook et al. 2006) in the text.

Note the author order: I like to put KGB first but include the rest of us in alpha order.

Cheers,
Craig

What do people think of the following?


I would suggest http://pdl.perl.org rather than the
generic http://www.perl.org as the URL.

Subject: PDL acknowledgment

Hi Karl,

Finalizing things for the paper I mentioned
to you earlier, so I thought I would let you
know how I am ending up acknowledging PDL.
Here's what I am putting in the acknowledgments
section:

 Parts of the analysis presented here made use
of the Perl Data Language (PDL; Glazebrook &
Economou, 1997), which can be obtained from
http://www.perl.org.

If I were to put this in the body of the paper
(as I am likely to do in another paper I am
working on), I would make the URL a footnote
thus:

 Parts of the analysis presented here made use
of the Perl Data Language (PDL; Glazebrook &
Economou, 1997)\footnote{PDL can be obtained
from http://www.perl.org}.

Let me know if this seems good to you.

Marcin
