I don't use numerical processing, but my wife is a physicist and she uses Matlab and Maple a lot (on Vista and Ubuntu; the latter runs the same code 20 times faster :). I tried to teach her some Perl and PDL, but when she saw that it doesn't have Matlab-like IDE, she immediately gave up. Something like this should be in the options for the last question of the survey.
The installation from the CPAN shell and from the Ubuntu repository is very smooth to my taste, but i use CPAN every day and i am used to its quirks, so other people's mileage may vary.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
