Equality Operators

Binary ``=='' returns true if the left argument is numerically equal to the right argument.

Binary ``!='' returns true if the left argument is numerically not equal to the right argument.

Binary ``<=>`` returns -1, 0, or 1 depending on whether the left argument is numerically less than, equal to, or greater than the right argument.

Binary ``eq'' returns true if the left argument is stringwise equal to the right argument.

Binary ``ne'' returns true if the left argument is stringwise not equal to the right argument.

Binary ``cmp'' returns -1, 0, or 1 depending on whether the left argument is stringwise less than, equal to, or greater than the right argument.

``lt'', ``le'', ``ge'', ``gt'' and ``cmp'' use the collation (sort) order specified by the current locale if use locale is in effect. See the perllocale manpage.
