in reply to Definition of numerically equal and rationale for 'you' == 'me'

Both strings evaluate to zero in numeric context (as they cannot be parsed as numbers), and thus are numerically equal.  With warnings enabled, you'd get 

$ perl -wle "print 1 if 'you' == 'me'"
Argument "me" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at -e line 1.
Argument "you" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at -e line 1.
