Given the program below, I need a function (here "find_lances") that finds and returns all groups of mechs that have exactly n members and weigh up to m tons, while every mech can only occur once per group ("lance").
use strict; use warnings; my %mechs; while (<DATA>) { chomp; my @d = split /\s+/; $mechs{$d[0]} = { weight => $d[1], fraction => $d[2] }; } # find all lances with 5 members and 380t weight my @possible_lances = find_lances (3, 150); sub find_lances { # big ? here } __DATA__ Flea 20 clan Commando 25 clan UrbanMech 30 clan Hollander 35 clan Jenner 35 clan Raven 35 clan Wolfhound 35 clan BlackHawk 50 clan Hunchback 50 clan Rifleman 60 clan Catapult 65 clan Loki 65 clan Thor 70 clan MadCat 75 clan Gargoyle 80 clan Victor 80 clan Zeus 80 clan Longbow 85 clan Warhawk 85 clan Mauler 90 clan Atlas 100 clan
Given the example above (3 members, 150 t) the result should be:
[ ["Flea", "Commando", "Hunchback"], ["Flea", "Commando", "BlackHawk"], ... ]
but not
[ ["Flea", "Flea", "Hunchback"], ]
(no Mech is allowed twice in a lance.)

and not
[ ["Flea", "Flea", "Atlas"], ]
(to heavy)
