[Purdue-pm] Perl 5's '{' .. '~' "broken"

[Joe Kline]

Broken or working as documented?


http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Range-Operators

"If the initial value specified isn't part of a magical increment
sequence (that is, a non-empty string matching /^[a-zA-Z]*[0-9]*\z/ ),
only the initial value will be returned."

Also, looking at the example in perldoc if you change your code from:

push @r, (ord $_[$i] .. ord $_[$i+1]);

to

push @r, (ord "$_[$i]" .. ord "$_[$i+1]" );

It will work as intended I think.
