Test-Simple contains Test::More, the most popular testing module for Perl, as well as Test::Builder which is the most popular module for writing more testing modules. It also contains Test::Simple, the simplest possible testing module.
Test-Simple makes use of TAP (the Test Anything Protocol).
When you type "perl Makefile.PL" the Makefile is generated by MakeMaker.
MakeMaker is a very cross-platform, Makefile generation tool specific to installing Perl modules. It works on every operating system that Perl does, and that means a LOT of operating systems. All Unixen, all versions of
... [More] Windows and yes, VMS. MakeMaker works with many different flavors and versions of make including GNU make, nmake, dmake, mms and mmk.
If you're looking for some hard core cross platform code, look no further.
MakeMaker is always looking for more testers and contributors using non-mainstream operating systems and makes.
MakeMaker hopes to be retired someday, perhaps by Module::Build. [Less]
PDL (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.
PDL turns perl in to a free, array-oriented, numerical language similar to (but, we believe, better
... [More] than) such commerical packages as IDL and MatLab. One can write simple perl expressions to manipulate entire numerical arrays all at once.
A simple interactive shell (perldl) is provided for use from the command line and a module (PDL) for use in perl scripts.
The PDL distribution for Perl provides extensive numerical and semi-numerical functionality with support for two- and three-dimensional visualisation as well as a variety of I/O formats. [Less]
