NAME

6       PDL::Lvalue - declare PDL lvalue subs
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Declares a subset of PDL functions so that they can be used as lvalue
10       subs. In particular, this allows simpler constructs such as
11
12         $x->slice(',(0)') .= 1;
13
14       instead of the clumsy
15
16         (my $tmp = $x->slice(',(0)')) .= 1;
17
18       This will only work if your perl supports lvalue subroutines (i.e.
19       versions  >= v5.6.0). Note that lvalue subroutines are currently
20       regarded experimental.
21

SYNOPSIS

23        use PDL::Lvalue; # automatically done with all PDL loaders
24

FUNCTIONS

26   subs
27       test if routine is a known PDL lvalue sub
28
29         print "slice is an lvalue sub" if PDL::Lvalue->subs('slice');
30
31       returns the list of PDL lvalue subs if no routine name is given, e.g.
32
33         @lvfuncs = PDL::Lvalue->subs;
34
35       It can be used in scalar context to find out if your PDL has lvalue
36       subs:
37
38         print 'has lvalue subs' if PDL::Lvalue->subs;
