Re^2: Reversing the action of the while loop

Thankyou both for that and the advice. I am a complete newbie to this PERL programming.

I have statistical work to do, which I had tried to do with excel, but PERL seems to give me more flexibility and simplicity, also I have upto 10 million samples which Excel cant handle in one go.

I am a neuroscientist working on the random generation of values in which we are trying to mimick a model from nature. The more data samples I have, the more acurate my calculations are.
I can generate the random elements great, but processing them is tricky while trying to learn PERL at the same time.
I have the 7th edition camel book, and as it says in there, as a beginner I am struggling with the efficiency of the written code.

Also, as you have recognised, part of my problem is asking a question in a way that others understand.

The last two questions that I asked are similar but I was thinking I might try the code in two different ways. Maybe betterjust to tell you what I am trying to do in a new post as you suggest.

Although mostly irrelevant to the Perl-oriented topic here, it is worth noting that Excel does have the ability to include database queries ... so called Power Query or Get and Transform. So, there are ways to handle database-sized things directly in Excel, such as a dataset of 10 million rows.	[reply]
