Since people were really starting to take an interest in the anagram problem posed at Is there a better way for finding anagrams?, why not golf it?

The idea is to write a function which given a jumbled word, will find any matching entries in a supplied dictionary, and return an array of these qualifying matches. The word, and dictionary, are only expected to contain alphanumeric characters, although the dictionary may contain some stray material such as the odd bit of punctuation which can probably be ignored.

Here's my first pass that comes in just under three digits at 98 characters:
sub a { sub z{join'',sort/./g}push(@{$d{&z}},$_)for(@{$_[1]});$w=z$_=$_[0];map +{@{$d{$_}}}grep{/$w/i}keys%d } # Test Stub open ($dict, "/usr/dict/words") || die "No words\n"; @dict = grep { chomp; } <$dict>; close ($dict); print a('geniretat',\@dict);

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
