Re^2: 02.5 == 25

Both operators work though.

say '==' if 02.5 == 25;
say 'eq' if 02.5 eq 25;

prints both == and eq (not that it's surprising either, given perl's seemless conversion between strings and numbers)

prints both == and eq Yes - though making assumptions about equivalence based on the output of perl's print() function is not a good practice. For example: `C:\>perl -le "print sqrt(2);" 1.4142135623731 C:\>perl -le "print 'WTF' unless sqrt(2) == 1.4142135623731;" WTF` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
