Re^14: awanti Perl not playing video with vlc plugin

Can you please do more little favor?? Can you explain this code? I am not getting what this code block is doing?

if( my $httprange = $cgi->http('range') ){
        if( $httprange =~ /bytes=(\d+)(?:-(\d*))?/i ){
            my $from = $1;
            my $to = $2;
            $from  and $begin = $from;
            $to    and $end   = $to;
        }
    }

Pretty much, get the header using cgi and extract from that string the two numbers unfortunately the rest of the program doesn't make use of $end to return the only return the requested range :)	[reply]
