already combining ($_ <=> $l) + ($_ <=> $r) gives you more details (abs == 1 when border hit) and you can easily derive any info needed.

  DB<62> sub tst { print "$_: ", ($_ <=> $l) + ($_ <=> $r), "\n" }

  DB<63> ($l,$r)=(1,4)
 => (1, 4)

  DB<64> tst() for 0..6
0: -2
1: -1
2: 0
3: 0
4: 1
5: 2
6: 2

if you need to ignore borders try -($_ < $l) || ($_ > $r)

  DB<79> sub leg { print "$_: ", -($_ < $l) || ($_ > $r) || 0, "\n" }

  DB<80> leg() for 0..6
0: -1
1: 0
2: 0
3: 0
4: 0
5: 1
6: 1
