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>
