Here's a piece of code that finds all Vampire numbers with factors smaller than the argument given:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings 'all';

my @vampire;

foreach my $s (1 .. shift) {
  LOOP:
    foreach my $t (1 .. $s) {
        my $prod = $s * $t;
        my $cat  = "$s$t";

        foreach my $d (0 .. 9) {
            next LOOP unless eval "\$prod =~ y/$d/$d/ ==
                                   \$cat  =~ y/$d/$d/";
        }
        push @vampire => [$prod, $s, $t];
    }
}

@vampire = sort {$a -> [0] <=> $b -> [0]} @vampire;

foreach my $vamp (@vampire) {
    printf "%4d * %4d = %8d\n" => @$vamp [1, 2, 0];
}

Note that if there is one vampire number (and there is), then we have an infinite number of vampire numbers. Proof: Suppose V = n * m is a vampire number. Then 10 * V = (10 * n) * m is a vampire number as well. qed.

Here are the vampire numbers with factors smaller than 100:

  21 *    6 =      126
  51 *    3 =      153
  86 *    8 =      688
  60 *   21 =     1260
  93 *   15 =     1395
  41 *   35 =     1435
  51 *   30 =     1530
  87 *   21 =     1827
  81 *   27 =     2187
  86 *   80 =     6880

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).
