Math::CDF is a mathematical beast, not statistical, although is does
process formulas used in statistics. If you know the cummunulative
distribution function you are interested in, and it's included in the
module, then you can get the probability from the quantile ($x) or the
quantile from the probability. But as another poster said, the module
doesn't process raw data.

Honestly, if the manual at http://search.cpan.org/dist/Math-CDF/CDF.pm
doesn't make sense to you this is probably not the module you need to
be using for your problem.
