ruzam:
Here's my stab at it. I took out the hash because my method doesn't generate duplicates. Instead I just return the list of results:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
# initial source in sequence order
my $source = 'horse:cow:dog:cat';
function($source);
# and now the results
foreach (function($source)) {
print "$_\n";
}
# generate array of combinations
sub function {
my @t = split /:/, shift;
my @res=(shift @t);
for my $i (@t) {
@res=($i, @res, map{$_.':'.$i} @res);
}
return @res;
}
UPDATE: I didn't benchmark it because I've never used that module before. (I'll have to go install it and read up on it.) But I submitted it because I suspect that generating the strings from components might be faster than removing chunks. Any benchmarking ninjas out there wanna help me out?

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).
