"I once wrote a neutralino detector simulator in perl for my physics degree..."

Is that the same as a neutrino? Or is that like a neutralectron :)

Thanks for reminding me about PDL. flyingmoose needs to play with PDL too. There are just too many hardcore modules on my list that I need to play with in my space time. Math rocks.

off-topic: I promise not to write any Perl Maple bindings anytime soon. Anybody else have to use this anal-retentive "language" in college? We had to use this beast all the way through Calculus III. No, flux integrals through fifth dimensional hypersolids cannot be graphed :) I've had some exposure to Matlab and very little to Mathematica, but none of them seemed as remotely annoying as Maple.
