Hi :)

FWIW, I do believe BrowserUk is aware of cmd.exe quoting rules

I am too, but for me the issue was, I stopped reading perlop too soon (in cmd.exe), I stopped a page or two after this, before the range operator in list context examples

The range operator also works on strings, using the magical auto-increment, see below.

Its like perlfunc, its a very very big page, and perldoc -f function cuts it down to digestible size quite nicely, but you can't do  perldoc -f ..

For quick lookups like this I don't usually reach for perldoc.perl.org

It is kind of refreshing to remember I haven't actually read all of the pod
