40 <para><application>PDL</application> (Perl Data Language) gives
41 standard <application>Perl</application> the ability to compactly store
42 and quickly manipulate the large N-dimensional data arrays common to
43 scientific computing. <application>PDL</application> turns
44 <application>Perl</application> into an array-oriented, numerical language
45 similar to such commercial packages as <application>IDL</application>
46 and <application>MatLab</application>. One can write simple
47 <application>Perl</application> expressions to manipulate entire numerical
48 arrays all at once.</para>
49
50 <para><application>PDL</application> provides extensive numerical and
51 semi-numerical functionality with support for two- and three-dimensional
52 visualisation as well as a variety of I/O formats. The goal is to allow
53 <application>PDL</application> to interact with a variety of external
54 numerical packages, graphics and visualisation systems. Easy interfacing
55 to such systems is one of the core design features of
56 <application>PDL</application>.</para>

81
82 <para><application>PDL</application> is a collection of over 90
83 <application>Perl</application> modules. Some of these modules require
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>
93
94 <para>This package (and many of the dependency packages) requires a Fortran
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
104 <ulink url="&blfs-wiki;/gcc3">BLFS
105 Wiki</ulink>. <!-- Alternatively, if you have a need to install
106 <xref linkend="gcc3"/>, you can add the Fortran compiler to the list of
107 compilers installed in those instructions. Don't forget to put the
108 directory containing the <command>{g,f}77</command> commands at the
109 beginning of your <envar>PATH</envar> environment variable before
110 beginning the compilation.--> </para>
