Another approach to this is to recognize that your sequence of strings can form a one-to-one map with a sequence of integers.
The advantage of this method is that it uses no memory.
# XXX Doesn't handle negatives
sub idiv {
my ($dividend, $divisor) = @_;
use integer;
my $quotient = $dividend / $divisor;
my $remainder = $dividend - ( $quotient * $divisor );
return ( $quotient, $remainder );
}
my @chartab = (0..9, 'a'..'z');
my $N = 3;
for (0 .. @chartab**$N-1) {
my $x = $_;
for (1..$N) {
($x, my $i) = idiv($x, 0+@chartab);
print $chartab[$i];
}
print ',';
}

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).
