I know there must be a way to do the following:

Your problem is that a single '=' is assignment, not equality. '==' could
also be used
instead of 'eq'.
Actually, no, '==' could not be used. Witness this code:
$abc="b"; print "yes\n" if ($abc=="b"); # appears that == works print "yes\n" if ($abc=="e"); # shows that == does not work
Output: yes yes
To do string comparisons, you must use 'eq', 'ne', etc.
$abc="b"; print "yes\n" if ($abc eq "b"); # appears that 'eq' works print "yes\n" if ($abc eq "e"); # and indeed it does
Output: yes
My mistake. I'm still fairly new to Perl.
