in thread Hypergeometric Probability Calculation
Just looking back at this now and saw your updates. I wonder Math::Big couldn't/shouldn't be rewritten to use C-code for large integer operations. My thought is that even if Perl itself isn't good for numerical calculations, when using a CPAN module for it, an XS implementation for processing would be a big performance win, without much of a complexity increase for module-users.
