The next time I use == instead of eq to compare two strings, I
will know to expect it will always
evaluate to true. What other language does this (apart from C,
which would invariably return false)
It would be a trivial matter to return an error or warning if ==
is used for items which aren't numbers
And this is in a language which is praised for its powerful
string handling !
"use strict; use warnings;" perhaps?
Also, would you like someone to help you fix your keyboard? :)
