Re: Combinations of lists, etc (updated)

I'm not wanting the overhead of a module, please.

As opposed to the overhead of "hours of messing around with various attempts at this"? ;-) Anyway, you might be interested in the code in my post here.

Update: I used this as the motivation to release Algorithm::Odometer::Tiny!

My hours of messing around was a secondary consideration in this case, because I thought loading a module would be slightly less efficient than in-line code, especially for this regularly hit situation (i.e. every page load on my website). I'm deeply honoured and even impressed that you wrote that module as a result of my problem, haukex. Thank you. Don't forget to include me in the credits.

Yes, the code could certainly be inlined, hence the `::Tiny`. Although depending on how many items you're generating, a speed boost in generating combinations by a factor of roughly 10x can be achieved with XS modules such as Set::Product::XS.

The number of items being generated is pretty low - usually a hundred or less. For that I thought the loading of a module would be a relatively high overhead for a job which I hoped could be done with a small amount of non-module code, (and the answers have confirmed it's just a small amount of code). Thanks for the Set::Product::XS tip. And thanks for the credits, haukex. At last I've reached a level of fame in the Perl world. Good to meet another person who knows how to take humour seriously.
