Synopsis
use Math::Subsets::List;

Generate all the subsets of a list and process them using the standard Perl metaphor.
subsets() returns the number of subsets. Please note that this includes the empty set as it is a subset of all sets.
Please note that the order in which the subsets are generated is not guaranteed, so please do not rely on it.
subsets() is easy to use and fast. It is written in 100% Pure Perl.
Export
The subsets() function is exported.
