dragonchild,
That may be where using one of those nifty CPAN modules and sorting/joining/hashing comes into play. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Algorithm::Loops 'NestedLoops';

my (@combo, %seen);
my %roll = (
    'type1' => { 'sides' => 6, 'count' => 2 },
    'type2' => { 'sides' => 8, 'count' => 2 },
);
my $die = 4;

my $iter = NestedLoops(
    [ map { ( [1..$_->{sides}] ) x $_->{count} } values %roll ],
    { OnlyWhen => \&ok }
);
print "@combo\n" while ( @combo = $iter->() );

sub ok {
    my $key = join '' , sort @_;
    return undef if exists $seen{$key} || length $key != $die;
    $seen{$key} = undef;
    return 1;
}
