lt, le, ge, gt, eq, ne and cmp all do lexical comparisons.
<, <=, >=, >, ==, !=, and <=> do numerical comparisons.
"89" le "100" is false.
but
"89" <= "100" is true.
If you are trying to sort lexcally but you have some numeric data tossed in:
@array = ('foo','bar','23 Skidoo','pizza',',100 bottles of beer','665
neighbor of the beast',93);
Then you may want to use both
$a < $b or ($a == $b and $a le $b)
If you are rolling your own sort, it might look like would look like:
@array = sort {$a <=> $b or $a cmp $b} @array;
the new order is:
('23 Skidoo',93,'100 bottles of beer','665 neighbor of the
beast','bar','foo','pizza');
