in reply to Substitution of a particular letter in all combinations of positions in word (see inside)

DB<182> $s=join '{e,a}',split /e/,"ferber" => "f{e,a}rb{e,a}r" DB<183> @a=< $s > => ("ferber", "ferbar", "farber", "farbar")

UPDATE

one-liner

DB<192> @a=glob(join '{e,a}',split /e/,"ferber") => ("ferber", "ferbar", "farber", "farbar")

Cheers Rolf

    ... and using the  /r substitution modifier of 5.14+:

    >perl -wMstrict -le "printf qq{'$_' } for glob('ferber' =~ s{e}{{e,a}}xmsgr); " 'ferber' 'ferbar' 'farber' 'farbar'
