well, I would benchmark it against LAPACK, but I don't have the time, but if you want, you can do the benchmark and show me that I'm wrong :)
As a matter of fact, I would like to see some benchmarks myself, who knows, maybe I'm completely wrong(I saw most of the PDL code is C code and the Perl is just calling that).
the main problem is if people would use Perl+PDL for scientific/financial computing, but if they decide they won't use it, it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow. I think it is slower than LAPACK which doesn't necessarily make it very slow, just slower than LAPACK ..

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
