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

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

The Module::Info module can tell you if a particular module is included in,

Additionally, the module can tell you what versions are installed and what
dependencies are required for them. You can even use Module::Info to gather
