assgn¶

  Signature: (a(); [o]b())

Plain numerical assignment. This is used to implement the ".=" operator

If "a" is a child piddle (e.g., the result of a slice) and bad values are generated in "b", the bad value flag is set in "b", but it is NOT automatically propagated back to the parent of "a". The following idiom ensures that the badflag is propagated back to the parent of "a":

 $pdl->slice(":,(1)") .= PDL::Bad_aware_func();
 $pdl->badflag(1);
 $pdl->check_badflag();

This is unnecessary if $pdl->badflag is known to be 1 before the slice is performed.

See http://pdl.perl.org/PDLdocs/BadValues.html#dataflow_of_the_badflag for details.
