PerlMol - Perl modules for molecular chemistry

# This is a bundle containing all of the modules
# of the PerlMol Project and their dependencies.
# This is not a real module; it is the main index
# to the documentation of the PerlMol modules.

PerlMol is a collection of Perl modules for chemoinformatics and computational chemistry with the philosophy that "simple things should be simple". It should be possible to write one-liners that use this toolkit to do meaningful "molecular munging". The PerlMol toolkit provides objects and methods for representing molecules, atoms, and bonds in Perl; doing substructure matching; and reading and writing files in various formats.

What follows is an index of the relevant documentation.
The following modules are indented according to the class hierarchy:
These are auxiliary modules for which object classes seemed overkill

The "examples" directory in the PerlMol distribution file has several sample scripts with lots of comments and a few input and output files that show how one can use PerlMol for common tasks. They can also be browsed online at http://www.perlmol.org/examples/. Some of the examples are:
* combinatorial_enumeration
* file_conversion
* molgrep
* pdb_viewer
* peptide_builder
* polar_surface_area

This is the PerlMol bundled release version 0.3500. It includes the following distributions:
Chemistry-3DBuilder 0.10
Chemistry-Bond-Find 0.21
Chemistry-Canonicalize 0.10
Chemistry-File-MDLMol 0.20
Chemistry-File-Mopac 0.15
Chemistry-File-PDB 0.21
Chemistry-File-SLN 0.10
Chemistry-File-SMARTS 0.22
Chemistry-File-SMILES 0.44
Chemistry-File-VRML 0.10
Chemistry-File-XYZ 0.11
Chemistry-FormulaPattern 0.10
Chemistry-InternalCoords 0.18
Chemistry-Isotope 0.11
Chemistry-MacroMol 0.06
Chemistry-MidasPattern 0.11
Chemistry-Mok 0.25
Chemistry-Mol 0.35
Chemistry-Pattern 0.26
Chemistry-Reaction 0.02
Chemistry-Ring 0.18
Math-VectorReal 1.02
Parse-Yapp 1.05
Statistics-Regression 0.15
The version number of a PerlMol bundle is always the same as the version number of the included Chemistry-Mol distribution, plus two extra digits that distinguish between different bundles based on the same Chemistry-Mol distribution.
