Hi,
To me it looks right:
If it looks like a string, it will be treated as string.
Here's a small programm to test the new ~~ Operator.
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;
## No quotes
&test_smartmatch(42, 42);
# yields 42 smartmatches 42
&test_smartmatch(42,42.0);
# yields 42 smartmatches 42
## Single Quotes
&test_smartmatch(42,'42.0');
# yields 42 smartmatches 42.0
&test_smartmatch('42','42.0');
# yields 42 doesn't smartmatch 42.0
## Double Quotes
&test_smartmatch("42","42.0");
# yields 42 doesn't smartmatch 42.0
###########################################################
sub test_smartmatch {
my $lhs = shift @_; # Left Hand Side (LHS)
my $rhs = shift @_; # Right Hand Side (RHS)
if ( $lhs ~~ $rhs ) {
say "$lhs smartmatches $rhs";
} else {
say "$lhs doesn't smartmatch $rhs";
}
} ##
###########################################################
__END__
Just my 2 cents.
Hope this helps.

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).
