Evolutionary algorithms are optimization methods used throughout a wide array of problems, from industrial operations through games to bioinformatics. Its key operations are done on strings and arrays, and given the nature of scientific work, it pays to be code-productive more than high performance. However, high performance pays too, so in this talk we will introduce several Perl evolutionary algorithm modules and how they have been applied to several problems and improved using profiling.
