RE: comparing strings

[Wagner-David]

  You are using numeric comparsion when you want string(change to lt (less
than), le (less than and equal), etc.

        so 'a'< 'b' should be 'a' lt 'b'

Wags ;)

Subject: comparing strings


Does anyone know a way to make boolean comparisons between strings?
For example, I want 'a' < 'b' to be true, but perl says 'a' == 'b' is true.

Thanks,
