Well, if you're serious about teaching her logic skills ;) (I've ignored two dollar bills for simplicity. It should be trivial to add it)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use AI::Prolog;
my @bills = qw(Fifties Twenties Tens Fives Ones);
my $bills = join ',', @bills; # don't use $prolog->list because these
+are vars
my $program = <<"END_PROLOG";
change([ $bills ]) :-
member(Fifties,[0,1,2]),
member(Twenties,[0,1,2,3,4,5]),
member(Tens,[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]),
member(Fives,[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20
+]),
Total is 50*Fifties + 20*Twenties +10*Tens + 5*Fives,
Total <= 100,
Ones is 100 - Total.
member(X, [X|_]).
member(X, [_|Tail]) :-
member(X, Tail).
END_PROLOG
my $prolog = AI::Prolog->new($program);
$prolog->query("change([ $bills ]).");
while (my $result = $prolog->results) {
for my $i ( 0 .. $#bills ) {
print "$result->[1][$i] $bills[$i]";
print ", " unless $i == $#bills;
}
print "\n";
}
__END__

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).
