[ID 20000427.007] perl -d treats $array[0..3] differently thannon-debugger

This is with perl5.005_02, by the way...

jeffp@friday [11:05pm] ~ #543> perl -de0

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.0401
Emacs support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help.

main::(-e:1):   0
  DB<1> @a = qw( A B C );

  DB<2> x $a[0..3], $a[1..3]
0  'B'
1  'A'



perl -le '@a = qw( A B C );  print $a[0..3], $a[1..3];'
a
a



Could someone explain this? :(  Hmm... perhaps $. is defined in the
debugger..........
