Hate to flog a dead horse (not that your code is a dead horse - i just like that expression), but this: 
$tmp[0] > $tmp[1]
   ? push @expanded, reverse ($tmp[1]..$tmp[0])
   : push @expanded, ($tmp[0]..$tmp[1]);

is bad style because the ternery operator is being used in void context. You would be better using an if-else statement, because it is more readable. If you prefer the brevity of the ternery operator, then please use it as an assignment operator: 
push @expanded, $tmp[0] > $tmp[1]
   ? reverse ($tmp[1]..$tmp[0])
   : ($tmp[0]..$tmp[1])
;

I like the changes, by the way. Now we have a fully flogged dead horse. :D
