I am certian that the variables are equal, but when I try to test them to verify whether the entered password and username are valid, the code always executes as false. Any ideas or suggestions? 
unless (("$my_user" eq "$page_usr")&&("$my_passw" eq "$page_passw")) {
    print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
    print "Wrong Username or Password!\n";
    print "Entered User: $my_user\n";
    print "Allowed User: $page_user\n";
    print "Entered Passw: $my_passw\n";
    print "Allowed Passw: $page_passw\n";
    exit;
   }
