Well, if you wanted to admit modules, you could have some fun with the PDL module:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
    use strict;
    use PDL;

    my $v1 = pdl reverse 1..10;
    my $v2 = pdl 0..9;
    my $v3 = pdl ((2)x10);

    my $add  = $v1 + $v2;
    my $mult = $v1 * $add;
    my $div  = $mult / $v3;
    my $sub  = $div - $v1;

    print "add:  $add\nmult: $mult\ndiv:  $div\nsub:  $sub\n";

    # we didn't stomp the original vectors either...
    # and of course, we can work with matrices too

    my $matA = pdl [0,0,0],[1,1,1],[2,2,2]; # 2d 3x3
    $matA++;         # add one across the board
    $matA *= 2;      # and scale up by factor of 2
    print "A: $matA\n";
    $matA *= $matA;  # scale it by itself
    print "B: $matA\n";
    $matA x= $matA;  # matrix multiply
    print "C: $matA\n";

    # and say, did you ever want to know the eigenvalues and
    # eigenvectors of a 4 x 4 matrix of a fibonacci sequence???

    use PDL::Slatec;           # Fortran never dies :-)
    my $fibo = fibonacci(4,4);
    my($eigvals, $eigvecs) = eigsys($fibo);
    print <<EOF;
    Fibo matrix: $fibo
    Eigenvalues: $eigvals
    Eigenvectors:$eigvecs
    EOF
    __END__
