`for (1..5) { print "-"; }` Which prints the `-----` you are looking for. If you want to print the number of the iteration you could use: `for my $x (0..9) { print $x; }` Which outputs `0123456789`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Or you could always do it this way: `my $n = 5; print "-" x $n;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
