P($n,$r) and C($n,$r)

2008-02-04 Thread David Nicol
I've written a couple of little recursive routines that provide
arrays or arrayrefs of arrayrefs of all the possible permutations
and combinations, of sets of n items, counting from 0 to n-1,
and wondering if such a thing is worth cluttering up CPAN with.

I'm using them for this crazy four-dimensional chess board...

There are some modules about combinatorics in CPAN, aren't those  
subroutines already covered by them?
