Re: use strict;

monks, sorry about not attaching my code here it is.

#!/usr/contrib/bin/perl -w

use strict;
my $a="5.0";
my $b="5";  
print "Are these variables equal as numbers? ",$a==$b,"\n";
print "Are the variables equal as strings? ",$a eq $b,"\n";
print "These variables are equal as strings\n" if($a eq $b);
print "These variables are equal numerically\n" if($a==$b);

When you're running `perl script.pl` you are using the version of Perl from your path. This seems to be fine. When running `./script.pl` you're using the version in `/usr/contrib/bin/perl`. Looks like that's Perl version 4. to confirm this type `/usr/contrib/bin/perl -v` at your command line. To fix it, find out which version of Perl is on your path by typing `which perl` and replace the `/usr/contrib/bin/perl` in your script with the results of that command. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "Perl makes the fun jobs fun and the boring jobs bearable" - me	[reply]

Looks ok to me ... are you sure there's a perl interpreter at the location specified in your '#!' line? Try issuing the following on the command line and see what you get: `which perl` Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor	[reply] [d/l]
