See the previous messages about & and short-circuiting.  This is no-good.

actually, to get that to work, you'll need
	perl -lemap/^a\*.z\*\$/\&\&print,aaaa..zzzz
which clearly is no good.

Btw, let's try not to shorten on non-working shots, unless by making them
shorter, you also make them work :)

definition: work (see not broken): fulfills the requirements.  compiles and
runs does not imply works.
