(349..396,425..496);
The impression I got was that the OP wanted code to take that list of
numbers, and identify the ranges within. I may be wrong, though.
regardless of the OP's intent, range manipulation is such a common and
fairly easy thing, i was sure cpan had stuff for it. i recall some
simple modules too but this one seems to do it all and more:
https://metacpan.org/pod/Range::Object
in a couple of quick calls the OP's list could be converted to a
collapsed (2-4 style) string.
