You should always "use strict;" unless you know why and when.
As to your if condition, a single "=" is an assignment, not a comparison.
And in any case, you'll want to use the "eq" operator for string comparisons.
Otherwise the comparison will be done numerically (0 == 0) and the code will
execute all of the time.
