I am a beginner, so list members -- correct me if I'm wrong here, but I
think that the mathematical symbols (<>=) will only work with variables
containing numbers. For strings, you have to use gt, lt, le, eq. Hope
this is helpful.

02:28 PM Subject: general confusion...
I'm a MS and Java developer, trying to debug some perl code.
I'm generally confused over a few syntax issues....
In the line:
my $self = {
LOCATION => {
USERNAME => $options{user_field} || 'username',
BILLING => $options{bill_field} || 'accounts',
INACTIVE => $options{inactive_field} || 'inactive',
},
All fields are strings. I imagine "=>" is simply "equal or greater to",
but
I'm confused as to what this returns with strings...?
I'm also seeing code like:
if ($self->{PRESENT}->{$self->{LOCATION}{INACTIVE}} &&
$user_data->{$self->{LOCATION}{INACTIVE}}
){
.deletia.
}
Again, what is the significance of "->" in this comparator? Again, all
fields are strings.
Thanks,
_Am
