Introduction
This page outlines various science related environments and libraries that are available to Perl programmers. It is by no means exhaustive. In addition to this page, there are are the portals for Perl+OpenMP and the one for Concurrency in Perl.
Perl Modules and Environments
Perl Data Language
The Perl Data Language is an excellent environment for doing science with Perl. Some rightly say it is the best such environment for doing science in any language.
- Visit PDL's main site
- Strawberry Perl .ZIP with PDL (64bit 5.40.1) [download .ZIP][see all releases]
- Via their main site, you will also find information for an active email list and IRC channel
- Many contributions to the Science Perl Journal have used PDL
Notes Regarding Setting up Strawberry Perl's PDL .ZIP File
The distribution comes as a .ZIP file, not an installer like the standard Strawberry Perl, so there are some post "unzip" steps that are worth following.
- Unzip in the default directory, but in C:\ (this is similar to where the standard Strawberry Perl installer defaults)
- Assuming the version 5.40.0.1, the following directory paths should be added to the Windows "Path" environment:
C:\strawberry-perl-5.40.0.1-64bit-PDL\c\binC:\strawberry-perl-5.40.0.1-64bit-PDL\c\x86_64-w64-mingw32\binC:\strawberry-perl-5.40.0.1-64bit-PDL\perl\binC:\strawberry-perl-5.40.0.1-64bit-PDL\perl\site\bin - Once the above paths are set, you may open up and CMD or Powershell window and start the PDL REPL using the "pdl2" command
- These paths also allow for wxPerl development workflow to be used as it would with normal Strawberry Perl, except you may use PDL related things in your GUIs (which is super cool!)
SPVM - The SPVM Language
SPVM is a statically typed programming language that has Perl-like syntax. Read more here.
