I agree that the job could be performed on a single machine given your
relatively small amount of data.
Are you locked into Perl or are you open to libraries in other languages.
If Java libraries are an option, you might take a look at
JGraphThttp://jgrapht.org/.
I haven't used it but it has good
Jerrad,
Thanks for pointing me to these projects. Unfortunately
Algorithm::CRFhttp://search.cpan.org/~clsung/Algorithm-CRF-0.04/lib/Algorithm/CRF.pm,
was
last updated in 2006. I haven't tested it but it appears to be alpha
quality based on the fact that it has stub documentation. Also it provides
for me on wrapping our internal Java
library. I was doing lots of back-and-forth. After implementing a
Java-side layer that did the same calls I was doing from Perl, I saw a
significant speed boost.
Hope this helps.

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
perl. I spent a lot of time finding the right setup for my needs. And
that tends to be common for Java in general (why engineer it once when
you can over engineer it twice).

You might also try testing with something like carton or by creating a
