in reply to Data cube in Perl?

Have a look at PDL (pdl.perl.org).
It is very useful for handling multidimensional data. Don't think it has the interface you need, but I think you should check it out before you go writing anything this complex yourself.

    A great idea -- PDL would simplify the math, and I could wrap an object around it for the interface.

    I'm on a WinNT system and haven't compiled my own perl, or any of my own modules. PDL requires compiled C beneath. No PDL modules at Activestate. Suggestions? Is there a pure-Perl PDL (much slower, I'd suspect)? If I must compile the PDL C engine (ugh), will that work with the precompiled ActiveState binaries? (Ugh again.)

    Suggestions welcome! Thanks.

    Update found Win32 stuff at pdl.perl.org. Hurrah!
