in thread What is the fastest pure-Perl implementation of XXX?
But you will have a very hard time finding any mathematician who agrees that it either makes sense or is useful to define 0! as anything other than 1. I can think of a half-dozen reasons to make it 1. None to call it 0. If you did find such an odd mathematician, I guarantee that it won't be someone in combinatorics (which is the field of math where factorial tends to come up the most).
