Problem with Test::More (cmp

jfroebe has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I'm relatively new to Test::More so I'm suspecting something is amiss somewhere ;-)

cmp_ok(2048, "ge", 512, "2048 >= 512");
[download]

Produces

not ok 12 - 2048 >= 512
#     Failed test (t/syb_settings.t at line 118)
#     '2048'
#         ge
#     '512'
[download]

Any ideas?? Other cmp_ok with the ge operator works fine. Switching the ge to a lt works which is counter to all the other tests using cmp_ok with ge operator.

"`ge`" is the string comparator, not the number comparator. Maybe try `cmp_ok( 2048, ">=", 512, "Sanity is there" );` ...	[reply] [d/l]

You want a numeric compare, not a string compare. `cmp_ok(2048, ">=", 512, "2048 >= 512");` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
