Im trying to setup a perl script to create a grads binary file.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Are you using PDL for your float point data? You can see examples in Gerl source code on how to write binary files:<br><br> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=256759&release_id=574264">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=256759&release_id=574264</a><br>
<br> I am not sure what you need, but you can write single variables to a file and read them in grads with the ipc_load() extensions. Take a look at <br><br> <a href="http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=Perl_Interface_to_GrADS">http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=Perl_Interface_to_GrADS</a><br>
<br>Note: Gerl does not work with mod_perl, make sure your cgi script is using /usr/bin/perl. This can be fixed, but it has not been a priority for me because I have switched to python.<br><br> Arlindo<br><br></div>
