Is there anything like this for perl5 ? In 2001/2 or so someone asked me to convert their perl implementation of a published algorithm to C. Took two hours to do the prototype from the journal article and the run-time went from 24 hours to 5 minutes. The algorithm was the ruelle-takens algorithm (ca 1979, iirc) to compute the fractal dimension of a series. Application was bioinformatics and the journal was a political science one. Very weird mix. Never had a chance to get back to it but I was thinking that an array module for perl5 would be useful. I probably still have the code stashed somewhere. > like MATLAB, NumPy or PDL, but enough to try out algorithms and > prototype ideas.
