2 is a number.
No, 2 could be a number or a string base on the context as how you use it. A better answer is to point out what he really misunderstood: the context.
It is pretty straight to simply change == to eq, and quot 2:
use Tk;
use Tk::NoteBook;
use strict;
use warnings;
use strict;
use warnings;
while (my $data = <DATA>) {
chomp $data;
print $data;
if ($data eq "2"){print "->got 2\n"}
}
print "Enter a 2\n";
my $input = <>;
chomp $input;
if ($input eq "2"){print "->got 2\n"}
__DATA__

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
