in reply to How to generate random sequence of UTF-8 characters

it would be trivially simple

But very long-winded! Perhaps using Range Operators and map would save some typing?

$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
> my @chars = q{0} .. q{9};
> push @chars, map { $_ => uc } q{a} .. q{z};
> say for @chars;'
0

a

b

c

...
y
Y
z

This does not address your problem but I hope it is of interest.

    Here's another way:

    my @chars = ( 0..9,'a'..'z','A'..'Z' );
print @chars;

__DATA__
0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

    update: And one more:

    my $string = join '',0..9,'a'..'z';
$string =~ s/([a-z])/$1\u$1/g;
print $string;

__DATA__
0123456789aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ

      Thanks lotus and JohnGG. Both solutions are quite interesting.

      Thanks
