Matlab does not need Perl. It has its own script and it can be compiled into stand alone application: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk_r13/help/toolbox/compiler/ch04st20.html However Matlab has its tag price
Perl on the other hand has PDL that can do many things on vector and matrix and it is free. If all you need vector or matrix operation PDL will do. Matlab has more, much more then that it is one of the most complete math toolkits with development environment. Matlab is also utilizing the new multi-core processors etc. to put it short - PDL will do if all you need is number crunching on shoe string budget Roey On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 9:02 AM, Gabor Szabo <[email protected]> wrote: > > Back a few months ago we had a discussion that brought up Matlab: > http://mail.perl.org.il/pipermail/perl/2009-March/010213.html > > It is not the first time Matlab is mentioned here and we also had > mentions of PDL. > http://search.cpan.org/dist/PDL/ > > I wonder if someone with background in either or both of those tools could > give > me ideas in comparing the two ? > > If Matlab need help from Perl then why not just use PDL for the whole thing? > > > Gabor > _______________________________________________ > Perl mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
