stupid question

[Chris and Madonna Stalnaker]

I have to start somewhere,

This works:

        print "Enter your name: ";
        $text = <STDIN>;
        print "\nHello $text\n";
        print "Please enter your password: ";
        $password = <STDIN>;

        if ($password == 21)
        {
                print"Correct\n";
        } 
        else 
        {
                print "wrong\n";
        }

This doesn't:

        print "Enter your name: ";
        $text = <STDIN>;
        print "\nHello $text\n";
        print "Please enter your password: ";
        $password eq <STDIN>;

        if ($password eq qwert)
        {
                print"Correct\n";
        } 
        else 
        {
                print "wrong\n";
        }

Why?

if anyone replies Thank you, (flames expected!!)
