The comment that your code is wrong and does not fall through is accurate. I did run the code, not that it necessary. Set $var to 10 it prints only 'a' and does not fall through the b c d cases as with a C fall through.

Yes — doy. Execution does fall through to the next condition, but I missed the fact that that alone doesn't make the condition true. Out of my mind, back in five minutes.

Makeshifts last the longest.

s/==/>=/g and it falls through ie

for ( $var ) {
    $_ >= 10 and print "a";
    $_ >=  9 and print "b";
    $_ >=  8 and print "c";
    $_ >=  7 and print "d";
    $_ >=  6 and print "e";
    $_ >=  5 and print "f";
    $_ >=  4 and print "g";
    $_ >=  3 and print "h";
    $_ >=  2 and print "i";
    $_ >=  1 and print "j";
}
