in reply to TIMTOWTDI -- so long as it's not my way

Several dozen instances of

 if ($foo =>$bar) {...} meaning, of course

 if ($foo >=$bar) {...}

*sigh*

    Oops. The way to remember that symbol is to remember that it is called "Greater than or equal to". If you can remember that, you'll always write >= and never =>, and then similarly <= is "Less than or equal to."

    Of course, if you're one of those freaks who goes around saying "equal to or less than", then you're doomed.
