    Didn't the rules say arbitrary list? Try this with the list (1,2,3,1) and you get incorrect output.

    However here is another 57 char solution that does not suffer from this deficiency.

    sub p{ @_?map{my$x=shift;@r=map[$x,@$_],&p;push@_,$x;@r}1..@_:[] }

    Awesome :) We can even bring that down to 49:
    sub p { @_?map{my$a=$_;map[$a,@$_],p(grep$_!=$a,@_)}@_:[] }
       MeowChow                                   
                   s aamecha.s a..a\u$&owag.print
      Make that 48:
      sub p { @_?map{my$a=$_;map[$a,@$_],p(grep$_^$a,@_)}@_:[] }
