Try:
if ($file eq $usr)
since your comparing strings.
FYI, the single "=" is an assignment, -vs- "=="

Subject: comparing srtings
I am trying to Compare 2 strings for an if statement in an admin
script. $slurp is an entire file, and $file is a name.
what i would like to do is compare the 2, basicly saying if this = that
do this otherwise do this. i have the if statement and stuff right i
just need help with the compare.
$slurp =~ /"defaultusername"="(.+)"/i;
$usr = $1;
print "printing the value of the test var: $usr\n";
if ($file = $usr){
print "username: $file;
