You can also try to patch the source of Math::Matrix, making it overload x for multiply_scalar.
diff --git a/lib/perl5/Math/Matrix.pm b/lib/perl5/Math/Matrix.pm index 0105845..1894a62 100644 --- a/lib/perl5/Math/Matrix.pm +++ b/lib/perl5/Math/Matrix.pm @@ -244,6 +244,7 @@ use strict; $VERSION = 0.8; use overload + 'x' => 'multiply_scalar', '~' => 'transpose', '+' => 'add', '-' => 'subtract',

And then, voilą:

use Math::Matrix; my $m = 'Math::Matrix'->new([0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8]); print $m x 2; __END__ Output: 0.00000 2.00000 4.00000 6.00000 8.00000 10.00000 12.00000 14.00000 16.00000

Update: A bit more clever change added to the wishlist.
