First, a succinct way to do this is to use the between function from Acme::Tools:
use Acme::Tools; if (between($frequency, 10, 15) {print "Yes"}
I believe your code does not print Yes due to operator precedence. My guess is that
if ($frequency == 10 .. 15) {print "Yes"}
is the same as:
if ( ($frequency == 10) .. 15 ) {print "Yes"}
in which case, the left side of the .. operator ($frequency == 10) is false, and in that case the whole expression is false. Refer to Range Operators.

Update: add another example...

If you set it to 10, you will get a Yes:

my $frequency = 10; if ($frequency == 10 .. 15) {print "Yes"}
but, you will get a warning if you use warnings; In any case, you should not try to use .. this way.
