[misterhouse-users] PERL tricks?

[Sean W. <li...@su...>]

Anyone know any good PERL tricks to create a string or multiple strings 
based upon variable input data? I specifically have to process words in a 
voice command and each word can at least one pronounciation with no real 
limit. I need to create a string for each possible pronounciation 
combination. If each word has two pronounciations and you have four words in 
your command then you have 16 different strings and I don't know ahead of 
time how many combinations I have until I've read the entire string and 
processed every word. I was just wondering if anyone could come up with 
something better than keeping an array of strings and copying them for each 
variation of the new word. That just seems kind of klunky. I was thinking of 
an array of arrays of pronounciations that I could keep, but I have no clue 
how to handle variable length nested arrays in PERL. 

Thanks.
