Re: how to make a foreach loop dynamic?

Your reading in of the options file doesn't care how many options (or elements in each option) there are. I take it you want to replace your three-tier foreach loop? There are many modules for this sort of thing on CPAN, and also there is some example code on perlfaq4.

The last example shows how to compute permutations for any array. HTH.

Just a something something...

Mayeb have a look at the source code for List::Permutor ( Source ). It is pretty well commented and should help. I would just use this module or similar to do the heavy lifting directly rather than trying to roll my own (Yes, even you can use CPAN) . Sorry I can't be of more help, time is short for me, but i hope you get this sorted out! I think the key lies in the way List::Permutor handles a list of any length, as opposed to your static three-tier loop. Have a look at that and see how you get on. Again, sorry I can't be more help.
