Where can I find AI::NeuralNet::Mesh? It doesn't show up in my CPAN mirror. I'm also tempted to suggest AI::FuzzyInference as a way to predict the sales. The fuzzy rules need to be defined somehow, and one way to do it is through a neural net as described by Mark. Those rules are then used by the inference engine to get a final sales figure. Just my 2 cents, --Ala
