PDL::Ops - Fundamental mathematical operators
This module provides the functions used by PDL to overload the basic mathematical operators (+ - / * etc.) and functions (sin sqrt etc.)
+ - / *
sin sqrt
It also includes the function log10, which should be a perl function so that we can overload it!
log10
Matrix multiplication (the operator x) is handled by the module PDL::Primitive.

add two piddles
$c = plus $a, $b, 0; # explicit call with trailing 0 $c = $a + $b; # overloaded call $a->inplace->plus($b,0); # modify $a inplace
It can be made to work inplace with the $a->inplace syntax. This function is used to overload the binary + operator. Note that when calling this function explicitly you need to supply a third argument that should generally be zero (see first example). This restriction is expected to go away in future releases.
