It's not an error. Just something that might surprise the people that know about .. , but not about ... In this case both operators work exactly the same. See the Range Operators section in perlop manpage (run perldoc perlop). The .. and ... only work differently in scalar context and the only difference is that using ... whenever the first operand evaluates to true, the whole operator returns true at least once. In either case I think I've used .. in scalar context maybe twice.
