Cool. I'd love to see what you've got.

I'll just add that as long you're writing it in Perl you might want to include a nonlinear optimization module (or even just a bidirectional pipe to an external exe) so as to calculate optimal solutions for boundary cases (for example, constraining all parlays of size ≥ n to be zero). http://www.ampl.com/ has some sample optimization engines.
