SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on performing matrix operations, specifically multiplication and addition, using Perl without the PDL (Perl Data Language) module. The user is attempting to manipulate square 3x3 matrices stored in separate files and seeks guidance on resources and examples. A suggestion is made to consult the Perl documentation on multidimensional arrays, specifically the perldoc page on "perllol," which provides foundational knowledge for handling such data structures in Perl.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Perl programming language
  • Familiarity with multidimensional arrays in programming
  • Knowledge of matrix operations (addition and multiplication)
  • Access to Perl documentation and online resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Perl documentation on multidimensional arrays at "perldoc.perl.org/perllol.html"
  • Research examples of matrix multiplication and addition in Perl
  • Learn about file handling in Perl for reading matrix data from files
  • Investigate alternative Perl modules for numerical computations, if needed
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for Perl developers, particularly those new to numerical computing, as well as anyone interested in manipulating matrices using Perl without relying on specialized libraries.

I'm trying to figure out how to multiply and add square (3 X 3) matrices with Perl (without PDL) in which each matrix is in a separate file, but I haven't been making any progress. I'm a Perl beginner, so does anyone have any suggestions for examples/resources that may help me?

Thanks.

I've worked with Perl a lot, but never for matrices, a.k.a. multidimensional arrays. It's not the first language I'd think of for doing numerical stuff. :-p

So I can't help you from direct experience. However, a Google search for "perl multidimensional array" turns up a lot of hits, including the following page from perldoc:
