If you don't need to stick to exactly that method for solving Poisson's 
equation,
here is a simple example of how to solve it with the bim package [1]:

>> msh = msh2m_gmsh ("circle", "clscale", ".1");
>> msh = bim2c_mesh_properties (msh);
>> A = bim2a_laplacian (msh, 1, 1);
>> b = bim2a_rhs (msh, 1, 1);
>> dnodes = bim2c_unknowns_on_side (msh, [1 2]);
>> inodes = setdiff (1:columns(msh.p), dnodes);
>> u = zeros (columns (msh.p), 1);
>> u(inodes) = A(inodes, inodes) \ (b(inodes) - A(inodes, dnodes) * u(dnodes));
>> close all
>> graphics_toolkit fltk
>> pdesurf (msh.p, msh.t, u)

you might also want to take a look at the new fem-fenics package [2,3].
