I've run across something strange. I've got to think it's my sleep deprived stupidity but is seems I have a script where 1+1 isn't computing on both Linux & Windows (5.6.1). It works if I change to eq but isn't it odd that they stringify the same?
Here's the test case. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $base = 0.0425;

while ( my $line = <DATA>){
  chomp $line;
  my ($z,$c1,$c2,$c3,$c4) = split(/,/,$line);
  print join("|",$z,$c1,$c2,$c3,$c4),"\n";
  my $total = $c1+$c2+$c3;
  print $c4  == ($total + $base) ? "True\n" : "False $c4 != ".($total+
+$base)."\n";

}
__DATA__
00501,0.0000,0.0425,0.0025,0.0875
00544,0.0000,0.0425,0.0025,0.0875
06390,0.0000,0.0425,0.0025,0.0875

This outputs

False 0.0875 != 0.0875
