Perl: how these two variables are equal numerically? Could some one explain how, in the example below, $name and $goodguy are 
equal numerically?

$name	 = 'Markkkk';

$goodguy = 'Tony';

if ($name == $goodguy) {
        print "Hello, Sir.\\n";
} else {
        print "Begone, evil peon!\\n";
}

Thanks,
Hoffmann
