mmh. some year is passed, but.. I need to expand coordinate ranges, comma separated like in 4 4 , 5-7 5, 0 0, 0-23 2

With the help of moritz in the chat and plagiarizing rosetta code I ended with this: 
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $input = "@ARGV";
my @pairs = split /,/, $input;
foreach my $pair (@pairs){
          $pair =~ s/^\s+//;$pair =~ s/\s+$//;
          print map {"->$_\n"} &exp_coord($pair);
}

sub exp_coord {
    my ($r,$c)=split /\s/,"@_";
    unless (defined $r and defined $c) {warn "Both must be defined. Re
+ceived:",map{defined $_ ? "$_ " : 'UNDEF '}($r,$c);return}
    my @r; my @c;
    my @expanded;
    @r = $r=~/^(.*\d)-(.+)$/ ? ($1..$2) : ($r);
    @c = $c=~/^(.*\d)-(.+)$/ ? ($1..$2) : ($c);

    for my $rc (@r) { for my $cc (@c) { push @expanded, "$rc $cc" } };
    return @expanded;
}
