And, here's the doozy for me as I tried remembering:

      If the final value specified is not in the sequence that the
      magical increment would produce, the sequence continues
      until the next value is longer than the final value specified.
                                     ^^^^^^

So, in the OP's 'u'..'z' example,  the expansion stops at 'yz'
because another increment would be 'za' which is 'longer'
than the final value specified'; whereas, 'yz' isn't:

Actually, no.  "z" is in the sequence, so it stops there.

Try:

for ( 'u' .. ' ' ){
  print "$_ ";
}
print "\n";

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.

Eliminate software piracy:  use only FLOSS.
