use List::Util qw[ reduce ];
my @in = ( 41888, 41889, 41890, 41892, 41895 );
my @missing;
reduce{ push @missing, $a+1 .. $b-1; $b } @in;
print @missing;
41891 41893 41894
If your list is large, then this will be more (memory) efficient:
my @in = ( 41888, 41889, 41890, 41892, 41895 );
my @missing;
push @missing, $in[ $_ ] +1 .. $in[ $_+1 ] -1 for 0 .. $#in-1;
print @missing;
41891 41893 41894

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
