Thanks for the note. I'm adding debian-perl to the recipient list,
that's a bit better for discussions than the pkg-perl-maintainers one.
PDL does seem to fit well in the pkg-perl domain so I think that should
be fine. It clearly needs some work (there are old Debian patches that
have little documentation or anything) and I can't promise any schedule,
but I'll try to look at it. Help is welcome of course.
I see Henning is still listed as the Maintainer for libpdl-io-hdf5-perl
and libpdl-netcdf-perl. Are those up for adoption too?
