Here's a version of the same algorithm working on array elements instead of characters. (Messier, isn't it?)
With 10 elements (states) it takes 1.5 seconds on my machine, but I think most of the time is taken by the printing.
How many neighbors can you have? (for code testing purposes.)
#!/usr/bin/perl -l
# http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1198509
use strict;
use warnings;
my @elements = (0, 2, 3);
@elements = 0..9;
my ($first, $last) = @elements[0, -1];
my %next;
@next{@elements} = @elements[1 .. $#elements];
for my $count (1,2,3,4,7,8)
{
print "count=$count";
my @set = ($first) x $count;
local $, = ',';
while(1)
{
print @set;
my $i = $#set;
$i-- while $i >= 0 and $set[$i] eq $last;
$i < 0 and last;
@set[$i .. $#set] = ($next{$set[$i]}) x ( @set - $i);
}
}

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
