for modern versions of perl, this is no longer true for normal ranges. does it still create the array for 'reverse' ranges?

Yes. In perl 5.8.6+, the `reverse` is optimized away, but the range is still flattened. I don't see anything in the perl588delta which says this has since changed. See lidden's Re^5: the '..' operator and decreasing values.	[reply] [d/l]
