Where can I find AI::NeuralNet::Mesh? It doesn't show up in my CPAN
mirror.

I'm also tempted to suggest AI::FuzzyInference as a way to predict the
sales. The fuzzy rules need to be defined somehow, and one way to do it is
through a neural net as described by Mark. Those rules are then used by
the inference engine to get a final sales figure.

Just my 2 cents,
