But what is the question? What do you expect to see printed?

    I would like my output to be the same using as
    explecit for(1..5) or a string in it's place for($string)
    where $string = "1..5";
    Thanks

      Do you want something like:

      my $range = "2..5,10..15";
my @ranges = eval "($range)";

        Thanks! Should I have looked in the docs about eval?
