    True, perl doesn't compile down. But the regular expression processes are very fast, themselves being compiled.

    I include the PDL, PGPLOT, and TriD routines, giving fast matrix math, 2D, and 3D plotting ability.

    I use perl for sumulation and data analysis. I also use perl to do things like align and stack astro-images, like the one below of the Lunar Hyginus region captured with my NexStar 5SE.
