If you mean the generalized DLP for permutation groups then
there is a paper: Torsten Minkwitz, "An algorithm for solving the
factorization problem in permutation groups", J. Symbolic Comput. 26
(1998) 89-95 in which the author discusses this problem. He describes
how to solve it using a stabilizer chain and strong generating set, and
a method of reducing the lengths of the words which are obtained. His
program is given in pseudocode, and he gives sample running times for a
GAP program which he wrote.
