How about creating a sub to do this?
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
sub SpecialEqual
{
my $pVal1 = shift;
my $pVal2 = shift;
return 1 unless (defined $pVal1 or defined $pVal2);
return (defined $pVal1 and defined $pVal2 and $pVal1 == $pVal2);
}
print 'Testing: 1,1 = ',SpecialEqual(1,1),"\n";
print 'Testing: 1,2 = ',SpecialEqual(1,2),"\n";
print 'Testing: 2,1 = ',SpecialEqual(2,1),"\n";
print 'Testing: 2,2 = ',SpecialEqual(2,2),"\n";
print 'Testing: 2,2.5 = ',SpecialEqual(2,2.5),"\n";
print 'Testing: 2.5,2 = ',SpecialEqual(2.5,2),"\n";
print 'Testing: 2.5,2.5 = ',SpecialEqual(2.5,2.5),"\n";
print 'Testing: undef,1 = ',SpecialEqual(undef,1),"\n";
print 'Testing: 1,undef = ',SpecialEqual(1,undef),"\n";
print 'Testing: undef,undef = ',SpecialEqual(undef,undef),"\n";
Update:
Maybe I should have read RMGir's reply, yes? *Smiles*

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
