PDL (Perl Data Language)
Description
"PDL (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 such commerical packages as IDL and MatLab. ... A simple interactive shell (perldl) is provided for use from the command line and a module (PDL) for use in perl scripts." Note that PDL is free and can be installed on any workstation with a current version of perl.
