if statements returning true at wrong time

[Horrid]

I have a problem with Perl incorrectly matching on an if statement. The match is for character A with character B where character B resolves to key code 1 (looks like "
&quot. Works fine if character B is any normal character, but I always get true returned when checking for characters like "
".
Any trick to getting Perl to know that A does not = "
"?

Thanks

just worked it out, very new to Perl and forgot that to check strings you need to do X eq Y not X == Y, works perfectly after that.
