Samuel Merrill, author of
"Making Multicandidate Elections More Democratic"
Princeton University Press, 1988

Out of print, but most university libraries should have it.  Or a public
library should be able to obtain a copy through inter-library loan.

The book was evidently based in part on some of Merrill's research
papers in the mid-80's, dealing with statistical models.

I guess so-- come to think of it, isn't Perl actually compiled at launch
time?  So it's probably not even accurate to call it an interpreted
language.
