Thank you Max, I think I can clarify more as follows:
My initial question “Is there a perfect p-group G contained FSym(IN*) which satisfies my condition (G has a generating subset X such that every infinite subset of X also generates G—-I call such groups “infinitely supported”). Here IN* is the set of non-zero natural numbers and FSym(IN*) is the group of all finitary permutations of IN* as usual. It can be found some examples for non-perfect or simple cases, but such cases are not under my consideration for now. To know the existence of such perfect groups shall provide a very important point of view for some other crucial problems. In my opinion, we need to start with some (useful?) elements to construct such an X using GAP. So I need the distinct factorizations of elements to construct X (I guess!).
