I'm not a programmer, so I need some help with a task I need to accomplish. Hopefully one of you perl experts out there can help me out here.

I have a file containing about 1000 or so out of sequence numbers in a single column that I need to do the following with:

Convert the list of numbers from file "list.txt":

125
23
291
95
5
etc...

to a two-column list of all possible number pairings:
125 23
125 291
125 95
125 5
23 291
23 95
23 5
291 95
291 5
95 5
etc...

Can anyone provide me a script that would do this? I know it would involve putting the numbers into an array and then iterating over the array in a nested loop, but I have no idea how to actually code this.

Thanks in advance!!
