Thanks Derek, I am going to check PDL::Transform right away.

My need is to reduce dimensionality on large distance matrices. For this is use 
multidimensional scaling  
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional_scaling) by calling R from perl 
(cmdscale function : 
http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/stats/html/cmdscale.html).

It's perfectly fine, expect in terms of performance, since at the moment I 
didn't find any better way than use Statistics:R, which basically passes data 
through stdin/stdout. When it comes to huge matrices, it is extremely 
inefficient. Hence my question.

I tried to google "pdl multidimensional scaling", "gsl multidimensional 
scaling", "perl multidimensional scaling", and all possible variants involving 
"pcinipal coordinates analysis", "PCoA", with no success.

Many thanks, again.
