Computer software consists of only two components: ones and
zeros, in roughly equal proportions. All that is required is to
place them into the correct order.

You're right, but it depends on the shell.

% perl
print "equal\n" if '0567' == '375'

%

% perl
print "equal\n" if '0567' == '567'
^D
equal
%
