=head1 NAME
PDL::AutoLoader - MatLab style AutoLoader for PDL
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use PDL::AutoLoader;
$a = func1(...); # Load file func1.pdl
$b = func2(...); # Load file func2.pdl
$PDL::AutoLoader::Rescan = 1; # Enable re-scanning
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module implements a MatLab style AutoLoader for PDL. If a unknown
function 'func()' is called then a file 'func.pdl' is searched for and
if found is read in to define 'func()' which is then executed.
Files are seached for using the directories in seach path @PDLLIB, which
is initialised from the shell environment variable PDLLIB which is a
colon seperated list of directories.
e.g. in csh
setenv PDLLIB "/home/kgb/pdllib:/local/pdllib"
Note this is kept seperate from PERL5LIB just in case....
=head2 AUTO-SCANNING
The variable $PDL::AutoLoader::Rescan controls whether files
are automatically re-scanned for changes at the C<perldl> command
line.
If C<$PDL::AutoLoader::Rescan == 1> and the file is changed
then the new definition is reloaded auto-matically before
executing the C<perldl> command line. Which means in practice
you can edit files, save changes and have C<perldl> see the
changes automatically.
The default is '0' - i.e. to have this feature disabled.
As this feature is only pertinent to the C<perldl> shell it imposes
no overhead on PDL scripts. Yes Bob you can have your cake and
eat it too!
Note: files are only re-evaled if they are determined to have
been changed according to their date/time stamp.
No doubt this interface could be improved upon some more. :-)
=head2 Sample file:
sub foo { # file 'foo.pdl' - define the 'foo' function
my $x=shift;
return sqrt($x**2 + $x**3 + 2);
}
1; # File returns true (i.e. loaded successfully)

=head1 BUGS
No doubt this interface could be improved upon some more. :-)
Will probably be quite slow if C<$PDL::AutoLoader::Rescan == 1>
and thousands of functions have been autoloaded.
There could be a race condition in which the file changes
while the internal autoloader code is being executed but it
should be harmless.
Probably has not been tested enough!
