One solution which I find pretty intuitive is to start with all zeros, and change N of thems into ones. Then the problems becomes "get all the combinations of three distinct positions", which can be achieved by using combination() function from Algorithm::Combinatorics.
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use Algorithm::Combinatorics qw(combinations);
my $length = 10;
my $ones = 2;
my $iter = combinations([0..$length-1], $ones);
while (my $positions = $iter->next)
{
my @data = (0,) x $length;
$data[$_] = 1 for @$positions;
say join "", @data;
}
Now for the matter of speed, if it's really that important you'll have to benchmark, but if you're going to print each string then print is probably going to make the execution time of generating the string insignificant.

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).
