Do you realize that the size of such file will grow very quickly with
the number of input words?  For example, for all possible combinations
of 3 words out of a set of 10,000 words (a rather small wordlist), the
resulting file may be around 20 TB large.

Of course, you do not really need to be saving those candidate passwords
in a file.  Instead, you'd pipe them into whatever password cracker
program you use.

Anyway, there are some trivial Perl scripts that do what you need in
this posting:

Not exactly.  It can mangle input words (e.g., replace or add certain
characters), but not combine multiple input words.

websiteaccess - please try to make your postings a little bit more
valuable, especially when the topic is not directly related to JtR.
This time, you could have provided a little bit more info on Raptor -
homepage URL, brief description of features, and just how it solves the
particular problem (I'm not sure whether it does).  I am not asking you
to post all that info now; I am merely pointing out that you need to
invest a little bit more time into your postings in order for them to be
beneficial for this mailing list members.

Thanks,
