I think you'll find it returns true because 0 == 0. Perl attempts to
convert the strings to numbers and fails gracefully, returning 0 if they
don't look like numbers.
In general, if you try and compare strings with a numerical comparison
operator, then you will get unpredictable results in both TT and Perl (and
most other programming languages).
So don't do that. :-)

foo.${'gold-1'}

Very good advice.
