The number of such strings grows exponentially as you increase the desired length (which can out of hand really fast). To prevent from having to keep all of the strings in memory at once, you can use an iterator to give you just one item at a time. Even though the glob function can be used like an iterator, it still internally keeps all of the items in memory at once, so there is no memory gain by using glob to iterate. Here's a simple iterative solution using NestedLoops from Algorithm::Loops:
use Algorithm::Loops 'NestedLoops'; my @chars = ( 'a' .. 'z', 1 .. 9 ); my $len = 3; NestedLoops( [ (\@chars) x $len ], sub { my $str = join "", @_; ## do something with $str } );

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
