Perl Data Language

Website: pdl.perl.org

Perl Data Language (abbreviated PDL) is a set of free software array programming extensions to the Perl programming language.

PDL extends the data structures built into Perl, to include large multidimensional arrays, and adds functionality to manipulate those arrays as vector objects.

It also provides tools for image processing, machine learning, computer modeling of physical systems, and graphical plotting and presentation.

Simple operations are automatically vectorized across complete arrays, and higher-dimensional operations (such as matrix multiplication) are supported.
