That's not true. It is documented in perlop:
The value returned is either the empty string for false, or a sequence
number (beginning with 1) for true. The sequence number is reset for
each range encountered. The final sequence number in a range has the
string "E0" appended to it, which doesn't affect its numeric value,
but gives you something to search for if you want to exclude the
endpoint. You can exclude the beginning point by waiting for the
sequence number to be greater than 1.
