Since I don't see the glob trick mentioned in this thread, and I'm not too keen on your pick-random-combos-until-we-think-weve-got-them-all solution, here are two ways to solve the locker combo problem.
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
# golfed version using glob
my $nums = join(',',1..31);
my @list1 = glob("{$nums}-{$nums}-{$nums}");
print "L1: $_\n" for @list1;
# more sane way of doing that.....
my @list2;
for my $i (1..31) {
for my $j (1..31) {
for my $k (1..31) {
push(@list2,"$i-$j-$k");
}
}
}
print "L2: $_\n" for @list2;
And here is the glob trick used to solve the original problem...
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
# one ordering....
my $letters = ',A,C,G,N,T';
my @list1 = grep {/./} glob("{$letters}"x4);
print "L1: $_\n" for @list1;
# different ordering
my $letter2 = 'A,C,G,N,T';
my @list2 = (glob("{$letter2}"x2),glob("{$letter2}"x3),glob("{$letter2
+}"x4));
print "L2: $_\n" for @list2;

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).
