Hello Monks: New To Perl. Accepting a field from a form that is a 3 digit number.

In the Perl script I would like to store the 6 possibilites these 3 numbers could have in 6 different variables.  Example: If 123 was entered, the 6 different combinations would be 123,132,213,213,312,312. Again, I would like to store each one in a different variable. Would an array be the thing to use and/or what would be a simple loop to create all 6 combinations?

Thank you.
