Example of the operator '..' in scalar context?

[Peng Yu]

I think that list context refers to something link 1..3.

But I'm not sure how to use .. in scalar context and don't understand
what the following paragraph mean in man perlop mean. In the examples
following the following paragraph in man perlop. I don't see which one
is for scalar context. Would you please give me an easy example on how
to use .. in scalar context?

In scalar context, ".." returns a boolean value. The operator
is
bistable, like a flip-flop, and emulates the line-range (comma)
operator of sed, awk, and various editors ...

This illustrates that you do yet have a clear understanding of context,
as described in the "Context" section in

Do, or Don't?
