okay, less of a hack :)
## usage example:
## program.pl -cards 5 -holes 3
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use Getopt::Long;
use Algorithm::Combinatorics 'combinations';
main();
exit 0;
sub main {
GetOptions(
'cards=i' => \my $cards,
'holes=i' => \my $holes
);
die "Usage: $0 -c CARDS -h HOLES\n"
if !defined($cards)
|| !defined($holes)
|| $cards <= 0
|| $holes <= 0
|| $cards < $holes;
$cards -= $holes;
my $tot = $cards + $holes - 1;
my $combos = combinations( [ 0 .. $tot - 1 ], $cards );
while ( my $combo = $combos->next() ) {
my @result = (1) x $holes;
for my $i ( 0 .. @$combo - 1 ) {
$result[ $combo->[$i] - $i ] += 1;
}
say join ', ', @result;
}
}
