So is this OK now with everyone? See discussion below with Marcin for the logic.

Parts of the analysis presented here made use of the Perl Data 
Language\footnote{The Perl Data Language (PDL) has been developed by K. 
Glazebrook, J. Brinchmann, J. Cerney, C. DeForest, D. Hunt, T. Jenness, T. 
Luka, R. Schwebel, and C. Soeller and can be obtained from http://pdl.perl.org} 
which provides a high-level numerical functionality in the perl scripting 
language (Glazebrook & Economou, 1997).

Looks good to me.

OK what  do you think of the following (see attachment)

This ought to keep everyone happy! Sorry it's so difficult but it's important to keep all the authors happy, reference the web site in a journal compliant way, and provide a hard reference that is trackable.
<ACK-PDL.txt>

That said - the TPJ reference is hard to retrieve. Maybe we ought to write a PASP paper!

Hi Karl,

No problem, happy to do both. Just a little unclear on how to do it. The journal reference is simple - it's just like any other paper. However, I am not sure how to do this one:

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

I don't think journals go for citing websites - I think they like to put URLs in the footnotes. But I don't think we can put all the authors in the footnotes. Perhaps I can say:

We used PDL (Glazebrook \& Economou 1997)\footnote{The Perl Data Language has been developed by K. Glazebrook, J. Brinchmann, J. Cerney, C. DeForest, D. Hunt, T. Jenness, T. Luka, R. Schwebel, and C. Soeller and can be obtained from http://pdl.perl.org}

Sounds good?

Marcin
