Hello Monks,

I'm getting an error which I believe I'm trying to use a hash which consist of a number and compare to see if that number is given. If it is, then I want to print out a string. Unfortunately, I get this error:

Argument "2EN" isn't numeric in eq at Calsdiscrete.pl line 71

This is my code:

 if (($cals_info {$cals_type} {low_count_no} ==
        $cals_info {$cals_type} {high_count_no})  == 0){<br>
      print ($cals_info {$cals_type} {$cals_state_0});<br>
    }<br>
     else<br>
     { <br>
       if (($cals_info {$cals_type} {low_count_no} ==
        $cals_info {$cals_type} {high_count_no}) == 1){ <br>
          print ($cals_info {$cals_type} {$cals_state_1});<br>
       }<br>
    }<br>

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
