not the prettiest code i've ever written, but it seems to do the trick.
#!perl -wl
use strict;
$_ = shift @ARGV || "CLEANSE";
our (%kw, %words);
my ($match, @matches);
my $future = {"" => ""};
sub sortword { return join("", sort pop=~/./g) }
sub dissect { my %h; map $h{$_}++, split(//,pop); return \%h }
sub scrub {
# make sure a word isn't longer than our
# kw or has chars kw doesn't
my $w = shift @_;
return 0 if length($w) > $kw{"len"};
my $d = dissect($w);
map {
return 0 if
!defined($kw{"d"}->{$_}) ||
$kw{"d"}->{$_} < $d->{$_}
} keys %$d;
return 1;
}
sub process {
# run one iteration through %words
my ($cand, @match, %future) = @_;
for my $w (keys %words) {
for my $c (keys %$cand) {
my $len = length($cand->{$c}) + $words{$w};
next if $len > $kw{"len"};
my $nk = "$c:$w";
$future{$nk} = sortword($cand->{$c} . $w);
if ($len == $kw{"len"}) {
push @match, $nk
if $future{$nk} eq $kw{"kw"};
delete $future{$nk};
}
}
}
return (\@match, \%future);
}
%kw = (
"word" => $_
,"len" => length($_)
,"kw" => sortword($_)
,"d" => dissect($_)
);
map { chomp; $words{$_} = length() if scrub($_); } <DATA>;
while (keys %$future) {
($match, $future) = process($future);
push @matches, @$match;
}
print "anagrams for " . $kw{"word"} . ":";
map print, @matches;

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).
