in thread SIMPLE way to write these?

You are comparing $number2 and $number1 in your while; neither ever changes. That's why you get an infinite loop. Here is a solution that preserves the value in $number1.

my $number1 = 1; my $number2 = 10;
my $i = $number1;
while ($number2 >= $i) { print $i++,"\n"; }

    I think most would write this using the three argument for() statement: 

    my $number1 = 1; my $number2 = 10;
for (my $i = $number1; $i <= $number2; $i++) { 
  print "$i\n"; 
}
