in reply to max .. min does not work

Above you have the answer you were looking for. But just out of curiosity, if you use the -l option, you won't need to add those \n to the print statements.

perl -le 'for (1..5) { print "$_" };'

    Nor is it necessary to add "$_" to print, for that matter: 
    perl -le 'for (1..5) { print };'

    Update: And golfing down a little more: 

    perl -le 'print for(1..5)'

      Nor are the parentheses in this reversed form ;-) 
      perl -le 'print for 1..5'

      Update: Of course, we could drop for too, but that won't help golfing: perl -le '$,=$/; print 1..5' :)

      :o) You are right of course. My intention was not to golf the code. It's just that I find that \n a bit messy, and thus just tried to show something a bit cleaner. But yours are pretty readable as well.
