Simulation::Automate ('SynSim') is a generic template-driven simulation automation tool. It works with any simulator that accepts text input files and generates text output. It executes thousands of simulations with different input files automatically, and processes the results. Postprocessing facilities include basic statistical analysis and automatic generation of PostScript plots with Gnuplot. SynSim is entirely modular, making it easy to add your own analysis and postprocessing routines.

INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install (or
make localinstall
for a local installation)
To create your local project setup, you can use
make setup
If you can't do a perl-style install, run the local_install.pl script. It will ask you where you want to install SynSim, and copy all the relevant files there.
DEPENDENCIES
This module requires no other modules, but to make use of the
postprocessing facilities, you'll need gnuplot
http://www.ucc.ie/gnuplot/gnuplot.html
To view the generated plots, you'll need a PostScript viewer. I use
gv (http://wwwthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/~plass/gv/) or ggv (http://www.gnome.org/softwaremap/projects/ggv/)
