in thread Sum of N elements in an M element array

The code can be further (slightly) simplified:

  • [@res = sort @res] to  [ sort @res ]
  • map {!$seen{"@$_"}++? $_:() }@results to  grep { !$seen{"@$_"}++ } @results;

Be that as it may, johngg's approach of permuting indices is IMHO better because it is more general: it can be applied to an array of any mix of any type of elements with no worries about sorting:

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl use strict; use warnings; use Test::More 'no_plan'; use Test::NoWarnings; use Algorithm::Permute; use List::MoreUtils qw(uniq); use Data::Dump qw(dd); my $ar_expected = [ qw(0+1+2 0+1+3 0+1+4 0+2+3 0+2+4 0+3+4 1+2+3 1+2+4 1+3+4 2+3+4) ]; my @arr = (1, 'two', -33, [ qw(f o u r) ], { V => 5 }); my $perm = Algorithm::Permute->new([ 0 .. $#arr ], 3); my @allIndicePermsSorted; while (my @res = $perm->next()) { push @allIndicePermsSorted, [ sort { $a <=> $b } @res ]; } my @uniqIndicePermsSorted = map [ unpack 'N*', $_ ], uniq sort map pack('N*', @$_), @allIndicePermsSorted ; my $ar_got = [ map join('+', @$_), @uniqIndicePermsSorted ]; is_deeply $ar_got, $ar_expected, 'unique sorted indices'; done_testing; dd [ @arr[ @$_ ] ] for @uniqIndicePermsSorted; exit; __END__ ok 1 - unique sorted indices 1..1 [1, "two", -33] [1, "two", ["f", "o", "u", "r"]] [1, "two", { V => 5 }] [1, -33, ["f", "o", "u", "r"]] [1, -33, { V => 5 }] [1, ["f", "o", "u", "r"], { V => 5 }] ["two", -33, ["f", "o", "u", "r"]] ["two", -33, { V => 5 }] ["two", ["f", "o", "u", "r"], { V => 5 }] [-33, ["f", "o", "u", "r"], { V => 5 }] ok 2 - no warnings 1..2
(Actually, I think there are permutation algorithms that give unique sets in their original order to begin with! (Update: See e.g. Algorithm::Combinatorics::combinations(); I'm sure there are others!))

Update: It might be advantageous to get rid of duplicates before sorting: gives sort less to do. For that, the somewhat syntactically awkward

my @uniqIndicePermsSorted = map [ unpack 'N*', $_ ], sort +( uniq map pack('N*', @$_), @allIndicePermsSorted ) ;

    I like your suggestions and code from johngg.
    Your point about grep is right on!
    This stuff about pack and unpack N can be a bit tricky.
