I'm ask to think of an solution for an Webapp that does some math on
data in an database.
The problem is, the DB has about 40.000.000 entries, the webapp needs
to do mainly math on that data, the math should be "traceable", so no
wild round offs.
The explanation is too generic to guess whether Perl is suitable or
not. It depends for instance on "the math", how intensive are the
calculations, how often they need to be done, etc. Depending on the
details pure Perl can be just fine, or Perl + Stored Procedures, or
Perl + C, Perl + Math::Pari, Perl + PDL, .... Can you be more specific
please?
Just in case it helps Math::FixedPrecission can take care of precission
in floating-point arithmetic if you need that kind of control. There
are modules to deal with integers of arbitrary size or fractions. Maybe
you could search for "Math::" in search.cpan.org and see what's there.

Well i would really like to pass more information, but right now i only
have something on the math. It would be something like the total
average, and general statics on that data.
I don't even know the database we will use. I'm even open to suggestions
which of the DB out there is best for that, while i know that most
operations will be reading from the DB.
The data should be accessible from the net ( Webserver ).
