An alternative:
use Algorithm::Loops qw( NestedLoops );
my $source = 'horse:cow:dog:cat';
my @parts = split(/:/, $source);
my $iter = NestedLoops(
[
[ 0..$#parts ],
( sub { [ $_+1..$#parts ] } ) x $#parts,
],
{ OnlyWhen => 1 },
);
my @s;
print(join(':', map $parts[$_], @s), "\n")
while @s = $iter->();
Update: Even better:
my $source = 'horse:cow:dog:cat';
my @parts = split(/:/, $source);
for my $comb (1..2**@parts-1) {
my $s = join ':',
map $parts[$_],
grep $comb & (1<<$_),
0..$#parts;
print("$s\n");
}
Update: Neat, and even faster:
my $source = 'horse:cow:dog:cat';
local $_ = ":$source:";
my $parts = tr/:/:/ - 1;
my $re = '(?{ "" })'
. '(:[^:]*)(?=:)(?{ $^R . $^N })'
. '(?:.*(:[^:]*)(?=:)(?{ $^R . $^N })' x ($parts-1)
. ')?' x ($parts-1)
. '(?{ push @rv, substr($^R, 1) })'
. '(?!)';
{ use re 'eval'; $re = qr/$re/; }
local our @rv;
/$re/;
print "$_\n" foreach @rv;

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).
