They are strings,
before it would always say that the 2 values were equal,
but now it says they are always not....
Heres my code 

#!/usr/bin/perl
#<include:CGI.pm>
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
my $query = new CGI;



print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";



open FILE,$query->param('name');
@file= <FILE>;
close FILE;

if ($query->param('pass') eq @file[1]){

print qq[<HTML>
<frameset cols="100%,290%">
<frame src="commands.cgi?name=];
print $query->param('name');
print qq[" name="commands">
<frame src="base.cgi?name=];
print $query->param('name');
print qq[" name="game">
</frameset>
</HTML>];} else{
print qq[<HTML>Sorry, that was the wrong pass/name, please try again];
}

What I want it to do is open a file thats named the same as
the persons user name, then check if the passwords match,
I tried "print @file1" just to make sure I was checking the pass
and not something else. So Im 100% sure its checking the pass,
but now it says the passes arent equal...
