update 1 sorry the first one prints from 10 to 0. Fixed the second one.

update 2 These ones are too long, but intriguing. 
perl -e '$b++;$a=hex--$b.xA;print$a--.$/for(a..j)'
perl -e '$a=++$b.$[;print$a--.$/for(a..j)'

update 3
This one seems to be short enough (30)

$a=hex(A);print$a--.$/for+a..j
$a=hex+A;print$a--.$/for+a..j  # (29) with a warning
