Also had the same experiences. Perl is relatively fast and memory compact compared to other modern scripting languages.

Perl also has PDL (http://pdl.perl.org/), which is very similar in scope to numpy, but predates it by several years.

If you want to get technical, Numpy is a continuation of Numeric which in turn pre-dates pdl.
