48 <para><application>PDL</application> (Perl Data Language) gives
49 standard <application>Perl</application> the ability to compactly store
50 and quickly manipulate the large N-dimensional data arrays common to
51 scientific computing. <application>PDL</application> turns
52 <application>Perl</application> into an array-oriented, numerical language
53 similar to such commercial packages as <application>IDL</application>
54 and <application>MatLab</application>. One can write simple
55 <application>Perl</application> expressions to manipulate entire numerical
56 arrays all at once.</para>
57
58 <para><application>PDL</application> provides extensive numerical and
59 semi-numerical functionality with support for two- and three-dimensional
60 visualisation as well as a variety of I/O formats. The goal is to allow
61 <application>PDL</application> to interact with a variety of external
62 numerical packages, graphics and visualisation systems. Easy interfacing
63 to such systems is one of the core design features of
64 <application>PDL</application>.</para>

89
90 <para><application>PDL</application> is a collection of over 90
91 <application>Perl</application> modules. Some of these modules require
92 additional libraries, packages and/or <application>Perl</application>
93 modules for full functionality. Listed below are the modules which require
94 additional software or configuration. If you don't need a particular
95 module's functionality, you don't need to install its dependencies. The
96 dependency tree for each module is listed downward, meaning you'll need to
97 start at the bottom of a module's tree and work up. The dependencies are
98 listed in the same order as they are in the
99 <filename>DEPENDENCIES</filename> file, found in the package source
100 tree.</para>
101
102 <para>This package (and many of the dependency packages) requires a Fortran
103 compiler for full functionality of all the different modules. The
104 <command>gfortran</command> compiler installed with the current BLFS
105 version of <application>GCC</application> (&gcc-version;) will not work. If
106 you want to compile the parts of this package that require a Fortran
107 compiler, you'll need to install a
108 <application>GCC</application>-3.x.x version of Fortran. The
109 <application>GCC</application> developers recommend using Fortran from
110 <application>GCC</application>-3.4.6. You can find specific instructions
111 to install a <application>GCC</application>-3.4.6 compiler on the
112 <ulink url="http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gcc3">BLFS
113 Wiki</ulink>. Alternatively, if you have a need to install
114 <xref linkend="gcc3"/>, you can add the Fortran compiler to the list of
115 compilers installed in those instructions. Don't forget to put the
116 directory containing the <command>{g,f}77</command> commands at the
117 beginning of your <envar>PATH</envar> environment variable before
118 beginning the compilation.</para>
