Incrementing letters in for loop

Hi. I'm new to perl, and I stumbled across a strange behavior in my for loop. In the following code, the second for loop actually counts way passed what I expected, and actually stops at "yz" and not "z" as expected. As shown by the third for loop, incrementing the letters, seems to give me the
