Rather than creating the matrix using PDL, I would like to know ways to use existing matrix in TAB delimited file in PDL.
I wish to perform math operations on that matrix.
I tried math operations on randomly created matrix in situ but I have no idea if it is possible to import matrix from text files.

use PDL;
$a = zeroes 5,5;
$b = xvals $a;
print $b;

Here , 5X5 matrix with zeros was created for trial. I would be interested in external matrix not this one.

Use PDL::IO::Misc::rcols:

Input data:

1   2   3   4   5
6   7   8   9   10

code:

use PDL;

my $x = rcols( 'foo.dat', [] );

print $x;

Result:

% perl foo.pl
