Floating point and hash tables needs Korn

Bash and Korn are just fine.

I had to use Korn at my previous job at AT&T (they do not have to pay for it :-)

As much as I like to be "Born again" if I need to do floating point calculations, or if I want to build a data structure that links keys with values (you know, the key-index-record thing, ie hash table), I MUST use Korn, or Perl.

Sadly Bash cannot rise to that challenge.

I do not know why, maybe I am doing something wrong.

If you know how, please post an example here, with great thanks in advance.

I'm torn between bash and ksh.
Korn Shell is good. It is very good. But sometimes I am missing some advanced features of bash.
Bourne Again Shell is good as well. But sometimes I am missing some features of ksh.

In general I like bash more. A very little more.
