Re^3: Expecting a 100 solutions, getting just 1

There is randomness involved

Where? I don't see any calls to rand, or other sources of randomness in your code

because 1 value of $A is a guess.

A guess for what?

The objective is to choose a pair of guesses A and B which minimize the error term.

What's the error term? How is it calculated?

Also, will declaring the variables with my get around the scalar property of $?

No. You're not supposed to work around it, you are supposed to use variables starting with @ if you want multiple values in one variable.

Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed

`No. You're not supposed to work around it, you are supposed to use variables starting with @ if you want multiple values in one variable.` Thanks for the clarification. I misused the term random in this case. The value of $A is a guess for a variable in a set of equations (which I didn't include here), uniformly distributed between 0 and A_max. The error term is "included" in the posted script as part of a comment.	[reply] [d/l]
