I know you can generate all permutations from a list, using glob or Algorithm::Permute for example - but how do you generate all possible permutations from a regular expression?

i want to do like:

@perms = permute( "/\s[A-Z][0-9][0-9]/" );
sub permute( $regex ) {
    # code - put all permutations of above regex in a list
    return @list;
}
