I think the file is src/load-save.cc (in 2.1.51). In the CVS version, the file 
is ls-mat5.cc. I think the developers of octave are restructuring the load/
save mechanism (as written in a previous mail).

In the last days I was thinking that it would be nice to have a Perl module to 
store data in a mat-file. I do not know how much work it is to transfer the 
code in ls-mat5.cc to a seperate library. (Having such a library, the code to 
make a Perl module using the library is quite easy.)

If you want to make such a library, I will help you.
