People,
I have a simple module written and as far as I can tell, there's
nothing on CPAN that does this. (Algorithm::Permute might, but it
segfaults on my machine).
There are some modules dealing with this kind of stuff, with more
generic interfaces. For instance Math::Combinatorics or
Algorithm::Combinatorics.
I've had a long look at Math::Combinatorics, and while it could be used
to generate a power set, it would take a certain amount of make-work
code. Plus, the documentation is awful, and there are no examples to try
out.
Regarding the generic interfaces, by a funny coincidence I had coded up
the same set of interfaces myself, plus a bit more. So the useability
should be acceptable.
Thanks,
David
