Your method of getting the next digit is expensive! Replace
for my $digit (@digits) {
next if $digit ~~ @number;
push @number, $digit;
append_digit();
pop @number;
}
with
for my $pos (0..$#digits) {
push @number, $digits[$pos];
local @digits = @digits[0..$pos-1, $pos+1..$#digits];
append_digit();
pop @number;
}
to cut down the time taken to 2/3 (6s from 9s).
Also, there's reason to use a hash (outside of testing).
Full code:
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;
our @digits = 1..9;
my @number;
my @results;
sub append_digit {
my $number = join "", @number;
push @results, $number
if @number && !grep $number % $_, @number;
for my $pos (0..$#digits) {
push @number, $digits[$pos];
local @digits = @digits[0..$pos-1, $pos+1..$#digits];
append_digit();
pop @number;
}
}
my $stime = time;
append_digit();
my $etime = time;
say $etime-$stime;
say "count: " . (0+@results);
#say for sort { $a <=> $b } @results;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
