|

| 27 | <para><application><acronym>PDL</acronym></application> (Perl Data Language)
|
---|
| 28 | gives standard <application><acronym>Perl</acronym></application> the ability
|
---|
| 29 | to compactly store and quickly manipulate the large N-dimensional data arrays
|
---|
| 30 | common to scientific computing.
|
---|
| 31 | <application><acronym>PDL</acronym></application> turns
|
---|
| 32 | <application><acronym>Perl</acronym></application> into an array-oriented,
|
---|
| 33 | numerical language similar to such commerical packages as
|
---|
| 34 | <application>IDL</application> and <application>MatLab</application>. One can
|
---|
| 35 | write simple <application><acronym>Perl</acronym></application> expressions to
|
---|
| 36 | manipulate entire numerical arrays all at once.</para>
|
---|
| 37 |
|
---|
| 38 | <para><application><acronym>PDL</acronym></application> provides extensive
|
---|
| 39 | numerical and semi-numerical functionality with support for two- and
|
---|
| 40 | three-dimensional visualisation as well as a variety of I/O formats. The goal
|
---|
| 41 | is to allow <application><acronym>PDL</acronym></application> to interact with
|
---|
| 42 | a variety of external numerical packages, graphics and visualisation systems.
|
---|
| 43 | Easy interfacing to such systems is one of the core design features of
|
---|
| 44 | <application><acronym>PDL</acronym></application>.</para>

| 63 | <para><application><acronym>PDL</acronym></application> is a collection of

| 64 | over 90 <application><acronym>Perl</acronym></application> modules. Some of
|
---|
| 65 | these modules require additional libraries and/or
|
---|
| 66 | <application><acronym>Perl</acronym></application> modules for full
|
---|
| 67 | functionality. Listed below are the modules which require additional software
|
---|
| 68 | or configuration. If you don't need a particular module's functionality, you
|
---|
| 69 | don't need to install its dependencies. The dependency tree for each module
|
---|
| 70 | is listed downward, meaning you'll need to start at the bottom of a module's
|
---|
| 71 | tree and work up. The dependencies are listed in the same order as they are
|
---|
| 72 | in the <filename>DEPENDENCIES</filename> file, found in the package source
|
---|
| 73 | tree.</para>
