Re: (tye)Re: Why not support this syntax?

I think you meant:

if ($min > $x > $max) { ... }

What you're implicitly suggesting is that Perl would change symantics from && between inequalities to ||, but how could perl possibly know when to do this and when not to? Eg. in my original expression, what would Perl do if $x was greater than $max? I think your example can more sensibly be expressed as:

unless ($min < $x < $max) { ... }

See, I told you I can't understand code that uses >. (:

But you just illustrated more problems with this. For example, your last line should have been: unless(  $min <= $x <= $max  ) But I don't find those compelling reasons to not implement it. If someone actually managed to produce a patch for this I wouldn't be opposed to it.
