ikegami,

I tried the lexical order method, and it's almost what I need...

On a mac, I get this output: 

FMMNllltuwwxxxz
13AEITfhlllstxx
/39CMMNhhlllllluuwwxxx
8ELMMfhllllxxx
49MMdhllllouxx
2239MMlllquxxxx
018AMMPPQTbbffhllllx
/2559Mllrtuuwwxz

[download]

If I change $seen{$_}++ to $seen{$_}+=2 then I get this: 

/034589BDFFHKMMMNNUXabcfghjllllnqsttuuwwwxxxxyzz
/112334589AACEEGIIKLMNPQRSTTbdeffhhjkllllnopqssttuxxx

which DOES list all the chars used, but has duplicates.
