Hey. Yeah deep recursion is something I don't really want to deal with. :)
I've only used recursion once and that was to walk a data structure. For
this kind of problem, which is a convergence problem, I would use a loop.
I'm assuming that there is a variance value that is computed and compared t
memoize is your friend! There is a whole chapter devoted to it in
"Higher order Perl" and yes Perl's recursion sucks especially when using
dynamically allocated large data structures!
