Re: Easy way to find permutations?

If you had typed permutations into the search bar at the top of each page you would have found an answer to your question without having to wait for a response. You could use Super Search to find lots of discussions on how to deal with permutations and combinations in Perl.

And if most people reading this knew what a permutation was they would have known that the original poster wasn't asking for permutations. Search engines are great..unless you don't actually know what you are supposed to be looking for. Of 5 solutions, the first nailed it, and the fourth was correct only because the poster of the link didn't know what a permutation was either. The other 3 - including your suggestion - were wrong because you were mislead by the word choice. Many other valid solutions exist. Quantum::Superpositions being an obfuscated one and `for (glob '{1,2,3,4,5}\ {q,w,e,r,t}\ {junk,crap,spam,crud,kipple}') { print "$_\n"; }` [download] being a short one. Or you could try figuring out Re (tilly) 1 (perl): What Happened...(perils of porting from c)...	[reply] [d/l]
