=head1 NAME

PerlMol - Perl modules for molecular chemistry

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # 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.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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.

    Chemistry-Mok                   0.21

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.
