sci@gentoo.org Gentoo Science Project perl@gentoo.org Gentoo Perl Project The Perl Data Language gives standard perl the ability to compactly store and speedily manipulate the large N-dimensional data arrays which are the bread and butter of scientific computing. The idea is to turn perl in to a free, array-oriented, numerical language in the same sense as commercial packages like IDL and MatLab. One can write simple perl expressions to manipulate entire numerical arrays all at once.
