Genetic algorithms with Perl (IBM developerWorks)

Teodor Zlatanov writes about genetic algorithms with Perl on IBM's developerWorks. " One of the more intriguing types of algorithm is the genetic algorithm. Genetic algorithms mimic Darwinian natural selection, where "fitness" selects individuals for survival, breeding, and, hence, adaptive mutation. I covered the background on this in a previous column, and I also showed two Perl implementations, one that bred bytes and another that bred words. In this article, I cover more advanced material on genetic algorithms in Perl."
