May not be exactly what you are looking for but I wrote this peice of code as a way to find (through brute force) all possible combinations of something (in this case locker combinations, don't ask why). anyway here it is:

#All possible combination generator

use strict;
use Quantum::Superpositions;
open (DUMP, ">combos.txt");
my @list;
my $i = 0;
while (1) {
my $num = int(rand(31)) . "-" . int(rand(31)) . "-" . int(rand(31));

if ($num eq any(@list)) {
next;
} else {
@list[$i] = $num;
print "$num ";
print DUMP "$num\n";
$i++;
}

}

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
