Re^3: unlink($ful) does not delete

As a matter of interest what is the significance of this construction: ( $fnmi =~ /^someword$/ )?

( $fnmi =~ /^someword$/ ) is a pattern match, which happens to be equivalent to ( $fnmi eq 'someword' ).

To understand why so, start reading about regular expressions and matching in perlrequick, and read more in perlretut and perlre.
