<P>
I get exactly the opposite results under 5.8.8 and 5.8.9, hpux, msys, and windows. One such example:
<code>
$ perl -e "print \"true\" if 'informal'== 'formal'"
true
</code>
</P>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> Under strawberry 5.14.2 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread, the results are different:
<code>
$ /c/perl/strawberry/perl/bin/perl -e "print \"true\" if 'informal'!= 'formal'"
true
$ /c/perl/strawberry/perl/bin/perl -e "print \"true\" if 'informal'== 'formal'"
</code>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> Ahhhh! Very sneaky :-). <spoiler>For those interested, print out the value of <c>int($string)</c> for each.</spoiler></p>
