Hello haukex,

just for fun a solution exploiting the randomness of hash keys.

hkey => sub{ my @range = (keys %{+{map {($_ => 1)}0 .. $N-1}})[0 .. $K-1]; }

It is slightly faster than samp for very small sets..

perl randomshuffle.pl 10 5 Rate samp hkey shuf mpu samp 108393/s -- -13% -88% -92% hkey 124178/s 15% -- -87% -90% shuf 934174/s 762% 652% -- -27% mpu 1275273/s 1077% 927% 37% --
..but becomes fastly slower ;) for bigger ones.
perl randomshuffle.pl 100 5 Rate hkey samp shuf mpu hkey 15844/s -- -46% -93% -99% samp 29546/s 86% -- -86% -98% shuf 212991/s 1244% 621% -- -86% mpu 1519656/s 9491% 5043% 613% --

The only thing to note is the %{+{ LIST }} syntax, where + is used to disambiguate a hashref from a block (credit: perl IRC channel) because you can't dereference a map as a hash.

PS: your hardware is ~3 times faster than mine ;)

PPS: "randperm" is not exported by the Math::Prime::Util module in 0.60 so i upgraded to 0.73
