I want to compare 2 multi digit numbers, say $x = 99 and $y = 158.. the operation: if ($x gt $y)
{print $x;}

the result gives 99 as the answer.. Probably because 9 is greater than 1.. Wats the command to get the correct answer in PERL???
 

The problem is you are using the wrong relational operator. "gt" is for comparing two strings. For example,

Code: 
$string1 = 'cat';
$string2 = 'dog';

    if ($string1 ne $string2) {
        print "Not equal\n";
    } else {
        print "Equal\n";
    }

You need to use < or > for integers.
Code: 
$x = 99;
$y = 158;

if ($x > $y){
print $x;
} else {
print "Not greater than";
}

Hope this helps
