Also note that (if you are using debian) you need to install
octave-forge to get the mod operator to work.

Moreover, another thing is that if you are using testing (sarge) (i
was), then octave-forge currently installs its files in the wrong
directory---testing has octave 2.1.36 but octave-forge installs itself
in 2.1.35--(this is an open bug), and which means that you will not
see "mod" in your octave even though octave-forge is installed.

(Downgrading to stable helped me...).

just thought i will share my "mod" experience which
coincidentally, also happened just today :) ---
