Comparison Operators

Comparison Operators

The comparison operators used by Perl are similar to those used by C, awk, and the csh shells, and are used to specify and compare values (including strings). Most frequently, a comparison operator is used within an if statement or loop. Perl has comparison opera tors for numbers and strings. Table 25.1 shows the numeric comparison operators and their behavior.
