XML Reference problem

[sharon]

I have an XML hash that has $xmlResults->{Ack} = Failure
I use an if statement with $xmlResults->{Ack} == "Success" and getting
true instead of false.
I about to pull some hairs about and I don't have to many left, please
help me save the last ones I have.


thanks

When comparing strings you have to use the string comparison operator
instead of the number comparison operator. That is to use
'$xmlResults->{Ack} eq "Sucess"' instead.

By using '==' you're comparing the numeric value of both sides, which
is very probale 0.
