[Perl-beginners] eval command line

Since $_ is the default argument to chr():
perl -e"for (55..75) { print chr }"

On the commandline, I always use single quotes to quote arguments, and
then I merely have to make sure I'm not printing English
contractions. :)

$ perl -e 'for (55..75) { print chr $_; }'

(And there's also the dreaded "I'm gonna expand history references
even inside single quotes" csh ugly behavior, so watch out for
exclamations, or pop into sh instead of csh.)
