I think he is working on the puzzle where you think of as many words that can be spelled using letters in the given word. But what about quantity?

I've already given ++ to Zaxo and CountZero for their anagram solutions, but I'm not sure now that's the point

An example would help, but if I'm right, he wants, given 'PerlMonks' a list like:

But would not like 'reel', as there are not two 'e's in the input.

Is this what johngg has?

perhaps vcTheGuru is closer to right with Math::Combinatorics, except maybe using the combine function looping from 1..($#input+1).

I humbly seek wisdom.
