in reply to Very Large Hex Combinations

To get all those from 0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF, all you need to do is count - for a long time. Assuming 32-bit integers,

my $val = 0|0;
do { printf "%08X\n", $val++ } while $val;

For longer strings, use Math::BigInt;.

    Why so complicated? A simple foreach iterator loop will suffice. Its also the cheapest in runtime.

    printf "%08x\n", $_
    for 0 .. ~0;
