Re^4: getting rid of special features

$ perl -wE 'say for "a".."e"' a b c d e
[download]

It had never occurred to me before seeing a range in the context of this thread to try

$ perl -wE 'say for q{x} .. q{ac};'
x
y
z
aa
ab
ac
[download]

Perl has me laughing out loud with amazement and delight sometimes :-)

> However, sort order is different from "range order"... So what? `DB<125> sort 1..12 => (1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)` [download] Lexicographic sort is always different! Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l]
