I don't know of very many projects that do "heavy math" in perl. usually high end math problems run in very long times, forcing peop,e to over optimize the application that is solving the problem. You tend to see many long running math apps as C with a lot of inline asm to optimize the time the program takes. For instance I don't think you could even come close to many of the C/ASM PI calculators out there in perl (even if you are using XS/inline C. I would think that there are many proof of algo consepts done in perl -- but most are converted to optimized C/asm for production runs. -Waswas

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).
