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

77 <para><application>PDL</application> is a collection of over 90

79 additional libraries and/or <application>Perl</application> modules for full
80 functionality. Listed below are the modules which require additional software
81 or configuration. If you don't need a particular module's functionality, you don't
82 need to install its dependencies. The dependency tree for each module is listed
83 downward, meaning you'll need to start at the bottom of a module's tree and work
84 up. The dependencies are listed in the same order as they are in the
85 <filename>DEPENDENCIES</filename> file, found in the package source tree.</para>
