You might take another crack at linear algebra.

And here is the problem: I've never taken a crack at linear algebra. Believe it or not, i left school quite early. I just couldn't deal with the pressures due to my mental state, see also PerlMonks - my haven of calmness and sanity.

I'm pretty sure your explanation is perfectly reasonable. I'm trying to wrap my head around it, but so far all i managed to do is give myself a headache.

While i usually don't ask for other people to do my work for me, since this is going to be an open source project i don't have that much qualms about it: Could you, uhm, provide a code example on how the python code translates into actual perl code?
