I don't know precisely what issues you're facing in terms of number and size of matrices (and hence, what your definition of a timely manner is), but I have had reasonable success with small-scale matrix operations using Math::MatrixReal (where by small-scale I mean inversion and multiplication of a relatively small matrix). Certainly, if you're planning on expanding that specific area you should contact Steffen Beyer and see what if anything he has planned there.

In the more general sense, I think this is a great idea, in particular with reference to the idea of having a base module in pure Perl with an optional FORTRAN/C/X backend.
