about strict: if i'm not mistaken, most values need to be in quotes, while strict is in place

You are mistaken. If you want to know what strict is for read `perldoc strict'. If you want to know about quoting hash keys, start with `perldoc perldata'.

i meant unquoted strings and not values, while strict was in place. As i reread the question, this probably wasn't necessary in this case, as it appears to be more of a mathematical - rather than string - comparison. my apologies...	[reply]
