Re: Handling a 450,000x450,000 array with Perl

Hi.

I'd like to create a program to handle data (natural numbers)
within a 450,000 x 450,000 array. I'm considering Perl, but
I don't know is it's powerful enough to manage it.

If the data is "not sparse" that's a lot of data.

It's not a question of perl's power, more
your systems.

if the data *is* sparse, it will be crucial to exploit
the sparseness, which is down to the code, either your,
or from a module/library.
