| Summary : Perl Data Language (PDL), efficient numeric crunching for Perl.
|
Description :
The Perl Data Language turns perl into an efficient numerical language for
scientific computing. The PDL module gives standard perl the ability to
COMPACTLY store and SPEEDILY manipulate the large N-dimensional data sets
which are the bread and butter of scientific computing. e.g. $a=$b+$c can
add two 2048x2048 images in only a fraction of a second. PDL provides tons
of useful functionality for scientific and numeric analysis and comes with a
convenient shell for online analysis of data.
This provides a complete fully functional PDL with perl (>=5.004) as
the only dependency. To get the 3D graphics to work install the Mesa
RPMs as well (version >= 3.0). To get the Karma interface to work
install Karma (version = 1.6.30). To get the PGPLOT graphics
interface to work install pgplot (version >= 5.2.0) and the pgperl
(version>2.11)
For license information see the file COPYING.
This package is built under RH 6.1, but should work under RH 6.0 as
well. The exception being that the perl included with RH 6.0 is
missing pod2text which is required by the perldl shell. It should be
possible to install and run the perl from RH 6.1 under RH 6.0 to work
around this problem.
