How To Install perl-Fsdb on CentOS 7
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Fsdb on CentOS 7.
What is perl-Fsdb
FSDB is a package of commands for manipulating flat-ASCII databases from shell scripts. FSDB is useful to process medium amounts of data (with very little data you’d do it by hand, with megabytes you might want a real database). FSDB is very good at doing things like - extracting measurements from experimental output - re-examining data to address different hypotheses - joining data from different experiments - eliminating/detecting outliers - computing statistics on data (mean, confidence intervals, correlations, histograms) - reformatting data for graphing programs Rather than hand-code scripts to do each special case, FSDB provides higher-level functions than one gets with raw perl or shell scripts. (Some features column numbers, it is self-documenting, and is robust with good error and memory handling.)
