I've recently been playing with Graph and it seems this may be a shortest path (specifically, All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP)) problem? The module uses the Floyd Warshall algorithm to calculate. The following creates the graph object and then calculates shortest path and prints it. Note, it only shows 1 path - have a look at the Graph perldoc on how to get all paths. (Note: I also used Graph::Convert and Graph::Easy to get the visual; it's not required to make this work.)
UPDATE: Updated code to be more efficient
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $MAX = 5; # how big
my $TO = '3-1'; # from 0-0, where to?
use Graph;
my $g = Graph->new();
my @from;
for my $y ( 0 .. $MAX ) {
my @to;
for my $x ( 0 .. $y ) {
push @to, "$y-$x";
}
for my $f ( 0 .. $#from ) {
for my $t ( $f .. $f + 1 ) {
$g->add_edge( $from[$f], $to[$t] );
}
}
@from = @to;
}
# Comment next 3 if no install Graph::Convert and Graph::Easy
use Graph::Convert;
my $ge = Graph::Convert->as_graph_easy($g);
print $ge->as_ascii . "\n";
my $apsp = $g->APSP_Floyd_Warshall();
my @v = $apsp->path_vertices('0-0', $TO);
print join ( " ", @v ) . "\n";

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).
