Voytek has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hey! I just started learning PERL and my problem is that when I use the IF statement with strings, it does not work. It works fine with numbers. Here is my code, can someone please tell me whats wrong?
if($FORM{'user_name'}=="r"){ print "Yeah!\n"; }
Thanks, Voytek
