My best solution would to be to have a .number virtual method.  Then you
could do:

  month      = 2;
  splitmonth = "02";

  IF splitmonth.number == month.number

So you're still always using string comparison, but you convert the number
to a cannoical form first.

I'd be loathed to add further virtual methods as standard though.  Maybe
we could do with a plugin somewhat like Scalar::Util that adds many
virtual methods that are virtually 'core' but arn't mainly to stop feature
creep.

Comments?
