Re: Weird eq behaviour

There shouldn't be any difference in this case. The operators eq and =~ have different precendence but they are both higher than ||

my $from = '<>';
my $to   = '<>';

if (!$from || !$to || $from eq "<>"   || $to eq "<>"  ) {print "Ok 1\n
+"}
if (!$from || !$to || $from =~ /^<>$/ || $to =~ /^<>$/) {print "Ok 2\n
+"}

__END__
Prints:
Ok 1
Ok 2

Well I would agree with you except for the simple fact that I had an email, for which I had to add the regexp aswell to my script because it die in the next lines trying to parse "<>"... T I M T O W T D I	[reply]
