changing `=~` to `eq` does change the outcome but ive used `chomp` on both `$cmd` and `$check` before i use `md5_hex` and it still doesnt work.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It would be logical that `chomp` isn't behaving the way you'd expect. Perhaps use regular expressions that explicitly state what you're trying to do until you're comfortable with how `chomp` functions. Or even write a function of your own.. e.g. `sub remove_trailing_newlines( $ ) { my ( $stringref ) = @_; ${$stringref} =~ s/[\r\n]+\z//gs; }` [download] . Then call it instead of `chomp`. E.g. `remove_trailing_newlines( \$cmd ); remove_trailing_newlines( \$check );` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You're supposed to use eq, so just use eq.	[reply]
