MJD's upcoming book is going to devote at least a chapter to the topic. 
While it's been taking a long while, I read a few of his drafts and I 
expect the book to be very good.

On a more on-topic note: I can't find the original mail, but I suspect 
that if you used closures instead of OO, you could get some speed-up. 
(The module *was* OO, right?)

Like:
sub new {
	# get data...
	return sub {
		# Do the permutation/etc here
	};
}

my $perms = Package::Name->new(@data);
while ($_ = $perms->()) {
	# do work
}
