Quoting from "perlop", "Range Operators" section​:

``
  As a scalar operator​:

  if (101 .. 200) { print; } # print 2nd hundred lines, short for
  # if ($. == 101 .. $. == 200) ...
  next line if (1 .. /^$/); # skip header lines, short for
  # ... if ($. == 1 .. /^$/);
  s/^/> / if (/^$/ .. eof()); # quote body
''

Anyone trying that second example will be disappointed and confused -
unless they've defined a label called 'line'. :) I can certainly understand
what the author was thinking when he wrote it, though...
