in reply to Re: Creating tuples based on sets
in thread Creating tuples based on sets

There is a definite possibility that I am missing something, but isn't waxmop asking for something that will solve for an arbitrary number of elements (in the solution), not just 2 necessarily?

    Yeah, I need the function to fit any of these situations: 

    my @set1 = qw(A B C D);
my @set2 = qw(X Y Z);
mk_tuples(@set1, 2);
mk_tuples(@set2, 5);

    etc...

    Here's a side question. How come this doesnt' work in perl? 

    mk_tuples(["A", "B"], 3);

    I can't replace an array with just a list of elements.

      but you can... try this: 

      my $arrayref = ["A", "B"];
print join "\n", @$arrayref;
