Here is a simple example from some preexisting code. It uses the built-in 'glob' function. It does not check against requirement 2, but it should be enough to get you started.

### <region-file_info>
    ### main:
    ###   - name     : trySimpleCombinations000.pl
    ###     sbty     : perl
    ###     desc     : generate simple combinations from separate arra
+ys
    ### </region-file_info>

### begin_: init perl
    use strict;
    use warnings;

### begin_: init vars
    my  @aColor     = qw(Red White Blue);
    my  @aAnimal    = qw(Cat Rat Dog Mouse);
    my  @aLetter    = qw(Alpha Bravo Charlie);
    my  @aDigit     = qw(0 1 2 3 4);
    my  @aResult    = ();

### begin_: generate combis
    @aResult    = glob (
        "{@{[join',',@aColor]}}"
        ."{@{[join',',@aAnimal]}}"
        ."{@{[join',',@aLetter]}}"
        ."{@{[join',',@aDigit]}}"
        );

### begin_: show the results
    print join "\n", @aResult;
    print ("\n-----------------------------------\n");

1;
__END__
