Jerrad,

I haven't used Statistics::R but it's probably worth considering. I suppose
that R also merited mention as a language for data analysis in addition to
Python and Java/JVM.

With regard to PDL, for most tasks you want be be able to easily apply a
known algorithm to your data and not have to worry about writing it from
scratch. PDL may or may not be a better platform than Python's numpy but
there are sophisticated libraries such as sci-py and PyBrain built on top
of numpy and no real equivalent for Perl and PDL.
