I can't find anything in S05 that indicates that we should be able to use double quotes as character delimiters inside of the character enumeration. Thus the case of C<< <["a".."c"]> >> is really equivalent to C<< <["ac]> >>, as the C< ".." > range simply collapses to match the double quote (in the same way that C<< <[a..a]> >> would simply match an 'a'). So, I think PGE is following the spec, and the example is incorrect. Pm
