Perl gurus, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is correct
syntax.  Equality testing operators are == and != for numbers and eq and
ne for text.  *BUT* regular expression-based comparisons use the
operators with ~, so checking for equality uses =~ and inequality is !~.

There are also corresponding greater-than, et al permutations for the
numbers and text portions.
