I just took a look at Math::GSL::Eigen, installed it and tested it; looks like it'll do the job. I don't know why I missed it either.

I had done several searches on CPAN and Super Searches here in the Monestary but came up empty except for 2 or 3 packages that all, according to their documentation, only worked with symmetric matrices. I actually tried several using known test matrices and they all failed on all but the symmetric matrices.

But I never came up with Math::GSL::Eigen...don't know why. Maybe I didn't phrase my search question quite right.

When I just went out a couple of minutes ago and checked it out with Perl Package Manager I realized that I probably was scared off thinking I need to install the GNU package, too. I think perhaps I didn't overlook Math::GSL::Eigen; just thought I didn't have all that was required to use it. I should've known better.

Anyway, thank you so much for the pointer. Somehow I just knew that someone had to have done this. Your pointer is so very much appreciated.
