Generating all the combination and then filtering out those that don't have the right number of ones can be pretty inefficient, specially when the number of zeros is big and the number of ones small.

In any case, you can also use a regular expression for generating all the binary numbers of some given length :-)

my $length = 5;

my $str = "0" x $length;
my $start = $str . "1";

do {
    print "$str\n";
} while ($str =~ s/^(1*0)/substr $start, -length $1/e)

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.


Do you know where your variables are?
