Hi, Monks.

Sorry if you discuss this question many time but search (and Super Search) did't help me so...

I need to generate all word from the pattern. The pattern looks like so: LLL (generate all free letter words), LLN (generate all words with two letters at beginig and digit at the end), LNNLLN.

Maybe there is a way to translate Perl regex pattern (like /[a-z]{3}/ or /[a-z]{2}\d/) to words list?

All i can invent is ugly nested for circles:

my @first_symbol_range = @second_symbol_range = ( 'a'..'z' );
my @fird_symbol_range = ( 0..9 );
for my $first_symbol (@first_symbol_range) {
    for my $second_symbol (@second_symbol_range) {
        for my $fird_symbol (@fird_symbol_range) {
            my $word = $first_symbol . $second_symbol . $fird_symbol;
        }
    }
}

But i don't know length of the result string (it could be 10 symbols) :-(. So please show me the right way. Thanks!
