Hi,
It's base 26 aritmetic :)
Base 10 aritmetic
The following adds 1 ten times to the number 0. The output is 10.
perl -e '$s=0;for $i (1..10) { ++$s }; print $s;'
Base 26 aritmetic
The following adds '1' 26 times to the 'number' 'a'. The output is 'aa'.
perl -e '$s="a";for $i (1..26) { ++$s }; print $s;'

if ( 1 ) { $postman->ring() for (1..2); }

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
