I might suggest capitalizing 'perl', so it reads '...functionality in
the Perl scripting language...' Minor, but some people draw a
distinction between Perl the language and perl the interpreter, and you
want to get it bang-on if this is going to be the official citation.

Acknowledging PDL
In the body of a paper.
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).

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?
