in reply to Code Problem

The first reason is because this loop is never entered:

while( $mutrate - 0.01 > $DBL_EPSILON ){

So the ends without ever executing your print statement.

The reason the loop is never entered is because this condition: $mutrate - 0.01 > $DBL_EPSILON is always false.

You are setting $DBL_EPSILON to $e = 1:

my $DBL_EPSILON = $e =1; $e /= 2 while $e /2 +1 > 1;

Which means that unless $mutrate is greater than 1.1 when you reach the loop; you're never going to enter the loop and thus never going to print anything.

I can only guess what value you actually wanted to set $DBL_EPSILON to, so I won't try.

Also, this: if ($matrix[$i][$j] =~ /[^0.00]/){ isn't doing what you want it to either.

    Hi! Thanks.. i made some corrections now and the loop is getting started but i dont get the results i expect. I´m actually trying to translate this Darwin code: Any suggestions? Thanks a lot again!
    PAM1 := MutationMatrix: lnPAM1 := ln(MutationMatrix): k := 1: RateMutation := sum(Freq[i] * (1 - PAM1[i,i]), i= 1..20): iter := 0: # The following loop goes until the difference reach the computer's # precision. while abs(RateMutation - 0.01) > DBL_EPSILON do iter := iter + 1; k:= k * RateMutation * 100: lnPAM1 := lnPAM1 / (RateMutation * 100): PAM1 := exp(lnPAM1): RateMutation := sum(Freq[i] * (1 - PAM1[i,i]), i= 1..20); printf('After %d iteration(s), k=%f, RateMutation=%f ', iter, k, RateMutation); od:
    And the outcome i expect is this:
    After 1 iteration(s), k=44.530219, RateMutation=0.014324 After 2 iteration(s), k=63.785069, RateMutation=0.010027 After 3 iteration(s), k=63.959878, RateMutation=0.010000 After 4 iteration(s), k=63.960985, RateMutation=0.010000 After 5 iteration(s), k=63.960992, RateMutation=0.010000 After 6 iteration(s), k=63.960992, RateMutation=0.010000 After 7 iteration(s), k=63.960992, RateMutation=0.010000 After 8 iteration(s), k=63.960992, RateMutation=0.010000

      Where does Freq[] come from in the Darwin code?

        I calculated it before but here´s the darwin code for that
        Freq := CreateArray(1..20,0): Tot := sum(sum(CountMatrix)): for i to 20 do Freq[i] := sum(CountMatrix[i])/Tot: od: print(Freq); [0.08477395, 0.05103334, 0.03837665, 0.05740129, 0.01256165, 0.0347174 +6, 0.06883297, 0.07907659, 0.02077239, 0.06813598, 0.08906677, 0.06501537 +, 0.02318017, 0.03823936, 0.04036729, 0.05668318, 0.05721648, 0.00871765 +, 0.02785317, 0.07797831] PercentageMutation := 100 * sum(Freq[i] * (1 - MutationMatrix[i,i]),i= +1..20); PercentageMutation := 44.5302
