ok, long day, let me write it like it IS
concider:
if ('a' == 'b') { print "foo" } # this will print 'foo', seeing 'a' compared to 'b'
yields '1' even in
numeric context here
(ie, the RETURN value of the compare, not the representation of the characters)
sorry for the confusion and thanks for poining out the mistake
