Hi All, I need help. I would like to write a programme in Perl which will read (N) number of input files and generate different combinations of data For e.g.
File1 (A B C D ) File2 (P Q R) File3 (1 2 3 4 5)
The output should be like
A,P,1 A,P,2 A,P,3 A,P,4 A,P,5 A,Q,1 A,Q,2 A,Q,3 A,Q,4 A,Q,5 A,R,1 A,R,2 A,R,3 A,R,4 A,R,5 B,P,1 B,P,2 B,P,3 B,P,4 B,P,5
I have tried to generate this using an arrays, but my logic is not taking care of all combinations. Thanks in advance!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
