Ah crap, you beat me to it. :)

Update with a fourth sub based on BrowserUK's suggestion. Gets another 2-5% over mine.

Oops, fixed error in u2 that made it look about 10% faster than it was. New timings too.


use Benchmark qw( cmpthese ) ;

my $digits = 2491306578;

cmpthese( -5, {
    u1 => sub{
               for ( 0 .. 9 ) { return 0 if $digits !~ /$_/;} return 1
+;
             },
        
    u2 => sub{
                my @x = sort split //, $digits;
                my $x = join "", @x;
                $x =~ tr/0-9//s;
                length $x == 10 ? return 1 : return 0;
              },
                  
    u3 => sub {
                return 0 if $digits =~ /(\d).*\1/; return 1;
              },
              
    u4 => sub {
                return $digits !~ /(.).*\1/;
              },
} );
