[dae2ba0b]	82	<para><application>PDL</application> is a collection of over 90
	83	<application>Perl</application> modules. Some of these modules require
[b307885b]	84	additional libraries, packages and/or <application>Perl</application>
	85	modules for full functionality. Listed below are the modules which require
	86	additional software or configuration. If you don't need a particular
	87	module's functionality, you don't need to install its dependencies. The
	88	dependency tree for each module is listed downward, meaning you'll need to
	89	start at the bottom of a module's tree and work up. The dependencies are
	90	listed in the same order as they are in the
	91	<filename>DEPENDENCIES</filename> file, found in the package source
	92	tree.</para>

	95	compiler for full functionality of all the different modules. The
	96	<command>gfortran</command> compiler installed with the current BLFS
	97	version of <application>GCC</application> (&gcc-version;) will not work. If
	98	you want to compile the parts of this package that require a Fortran
	99	compiler, you'll need to install a
	100	<application>GCC</application>-3.x.x version of Fortran. The
	101	<application>GCC</application> developers recommend using Fortran from
	102	<application>GCC</application>-3.4.6. You can find specific instructions
	103	to install a <application>GCC</application>-3.4.6 compiler on the

[08f1ff7]	105	Wiki</ulink>. <!-- Alternatively, if you have a need to install
[b307885b]	106	<xref linkend="gcc3"/>, you can add the Fortran compiler to the list of
