I think you're looking for scalar ".."
It's under "Range Operators" in perldoc perlop. Here are the first few
examples:
> if (101 .. 200) { print; } # print 2nd hundred lines
> next line if (1 .. /^$/); # skip header lines
> s/^/> / if (/^$/ .. eof()); # quote body
Basically, "do something from the time the first value is true until the
second value is true".
