This isn't a complete solution, but I think it will get you started on the right path. If you need more detailed help, I'll need a more detailed description of the problem (namely, expected inputs and outputs). What you want to do is iterate over the string and replace the current character with possible replacement characters. You could use recursion as mentioned above, but that's probably overkill for what you're looking for. use strict;
#the substitution possibilities
my @a = ('a');
my @b = ('d','e');
my @c = ('f','g','h');
my $string = pop(@_); #this is an argument passed to the script on th
+e command line
#my $string = "abc"; #if you want it hardcoded
my $expanded_string = "";
my @strings = ();
foreach my $first (@a){
foreach my $second (@b){
foreach my $third (@c){
$string = "$first$second$third";
push(@strings, $string); #to store them all
print "$string\n"; #to print this particular one
}
}
}

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).
