Re: Test if list is range

please use <code> tags!

No, there is (unfortunately) no range datatype, the range operator does only create a list in list context.

If you need ranges as types , consider creating an object or tie handling the behavior you want.

You could also try one of the cpan modules for ranges.

There might be a way `$ perl -MO=Deparse -e " use Data::Dump; dd [ 1,2,3 ] " use Data::Dump; dd([1, 2, 3]); -e syntax OK $ perl -MO=Deparse -e " use Data::Dump; dd [ 1..3 ] " use Data::Dump; dd([1..3]); -e syntax OK` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
