Perl Data Language (PDL) extends Perl with facilities for storing and manipulating large N-dimensional data arrays, particularly in scientific and numerical computing. The PDL PreProcessor is part of the PDL software and processes .pp source files used by PDL-based Perl modules.
A PP file generally contains PDL::PP definitions describing operations and related interface information. During a module build, the preprocessor uses these definitions to generate the source code needed to connect the operations to Perl and PDL.
The format is intended for Perl and PDL development rather than for storing user data. It can be used on platforms that support the relevant Perl and PDL software, and remains associated with the build process for PDL modules.
A .pp file is a text-based source file, so it can be viewed or edited with any plain-text editor. Opening it in a text editor shows the PDL::PP definitions rather than a rendered document.
To use the file, process it with the Perl Data Language PreProcessor as part of building the PDL-based Perl module that contains it. A working Perl and PDL development environment is required.
A .pp file is source code and has no useful conversion to a general document or data format. Its definitions are normally processed during a module build to generate the Perl extension source needed by PDL.
To change its contents, edit the PP source and rebuild the associated Perl module. The generated build files are implementation output, not a replacement format for the original PP file.
