Change in PDL::IO::FlexRaw of type breaks code

[fantasma13]

Using FlexRaw used to work like this:
$x=readflex('foo',[{Type=>'cfloat',Dims=>[16,16],}]);

in PDL 2.100 (pulled in by cpnanm), this now requires

$x=readflex('foo',[{Type=>cfloat->enum,Dims=>[16,16],}]);

This change breaks existing code and is more cumbersome to write headers on the fly. The new syntax seems to work on older versions, I've tried it on 2.079.

Thanks for the report! The test as added to in the commit above now has this code:

#my $header = [{NDims => 2, Dims => [3,2], Type => 'float'}];
my $cplx = pdl '1+2i 3+4i 5+6i';
my $cname = catfile($tmpdir, "cplx");
my $hdr = writeflex($cname, $cplx);
is_deeply $hdr, [{ BadFlag => 0, BadValue => undef,
  Dims => [ 3 ], NDims => 1, Type => 'cdouble'
}], 'header correct';
is_pdl readflex($cname, $hdr), $cplx, 'reads back right';

Notice the string value for the type, 'cdouble'. Please can you give some test code that fails, since I can't reproduce this?
