Hi there! i'm seeking for help on something which should b easy, but has turned into my personal hell. i'm trying to compare character (but i guess it applies the same to strings) for my database entry markers, but i simpled the problem out to this:
#Here starts my nightmare print"\nCharacter?:"; $character= <STDIN>; if($character eq ':') #Here is the root of my nightmare { print "\n\nEureka! $character equals ':'\n"; } else{ print "\nThis script sucks ass!!";} +-+-+-+-End of code+-+-+-+-+ i'm pretty certain this has something to do with string terminators (like '\0' in C). well, i hope u can help me.
