I am not saying that's a correct behaviour, but that's why we didn't catch the problem earlier. May be its a bug in the Test module? If I add a non-numeric prefix to LHS string, test fails. $ perl -e 'use warnings; use Test::More; ok("Fri 2017-46" != "null", "ok");' Argument "null" isn't numeric in numeric ne (!=) at -e line 1. Argument "Fri 2017-46" isn't numeric in numeric ne (!=) at -e line 1. not ok 1 - ok # Failed test 'ok' # at -e line 1. # Tests were run but no plan was declared and done_testing() was not seen.
