Nope, you had it right before. Matlab is commercial (and very expensive)
software that the python matplotlib/scipy/numpy combination may replace for
some people. The benefit of that is many people know and use matlab, so
using matplotlib is familiar to them.

Isn't MatPlotLib free as well? I don't think PDL's low cost is a competitive
advantage for Perl over Python

I much prefer perl to python given my recent forays into that language
(python's regex is awful!), however it has an excellent plotting package
that is very similar to matlab but supports things like marker alphas. It's
called matplotlib, and requires scipy and numpy.
PDL is the clo
