Hi Derek:  I think setting $PDL::use_commas=1 might help.  This will 
insert commas when printing the PDL, allowing it to be cut and pasted more 
easily:

perldl> $PDL::use_commas=1
perldl> p ones(10,10)

[
  [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
  [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
  [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
  [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
  [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
  [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
  [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
  [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
  [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
  [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]
]
