Hi all,

I'm working with AI::NeuralNet::Mesh and I've seen a few areas that it can be improved sligh
tly. 
Mainly, I can make it run clean under warnings and, according to some initial benchmarks, I 
can
give it a nice performance boost with a few tweaks.  However, I backed out my changes to be 
able
to build a more comprehensive test suite to ensure that I don't break anything.  This raises
 a
question for me.

After training the neural network, assuming that I am using the same training data every tim
e (in
the same order), are the results deterministic across operating systems, CPUs, Perl versions
, etc?
 From reading through the code, I don't see anything that would cause problems here, but I'm
 not
sure.

If the results *are* deterministic then I can go ahead and build the test suite and send thi
s back
to the author.  Otherwise, I can only build the tests for me, but I'd prefer to be able let 
others
take advantage of my work.

Cheers,
Ovid
