On http://www.parrot.org/languages I found a project called Matrixy which is an implementation of Octave. I don't know how complete it is and how easy or difficult it will be to create PDL code from its parse tree but I hope I could tease the author into subscribing to this list so he will be able to give us an idea where things are standing.
