CC:	CSOE [...] cpan.org
Subject:	Update PDL::IO::HDF5 to handle more datatypes/attributes

Request the following features: * Read Attributes with Scalar, Array, and Compound types. * Read Datasets with Scalar, Array, and Compound types. I am working on some of these, and have the following: DONE: * Attribute gets now returned as PDLs, and can be arrays. Simple, Array, and Compound datatypes supported. * Dataset gets now return Simple, Array datatypes, and Compound. * All Compound dataset/attributes returned as Perl hashes, not PDLs! * Moved redundant code from Dataset.pm and Group.pm into HDF5.pm, and forced inheritance. * HDF5 1.8.x compatibility #IFDEFs. * Wrote C program to generate a more exhaustive HDF5 dataset for testing PDL::IO::HDF5 TODO: * Attribute writes (My primary concern right now for my project is reading data and not writing) * Writing Compound datatypes. * Update test suite.

I'm preparing for a CPAN release of PDL::IO::HDF5 by the
end of Dec. Working to update existing tickets and contributors.
Is this code available or is archfool willing/able to help
with PDL::IO::HDF5 development. I've set up a git repo
but I'm not an HDF5 user so I cannot really help with that
end of things.

With the 0.63_01 CPAN developers release, all these items have been addressed except for reading/writing of compound datatypes. As the original requestor has not followed up, I'm marking this as resolved.

Please open a new ticket against the currrent CPAN release if desired.
