I've seen some similar results using if compares - I would suggest using the 
scratch-=> like below (if applicable)

This works for me The code below if from my flypage , I only show Suggested 
list price if we are selling at a discount:

[tmp tp1][price code="[item-code]" quantity="1" noformat=1][/tmp]
[tmp tp2][item-field listprice][/tmp]
[if explicit]
[condition]
  $Scratch->{tp1} < $Scratch->{tp2}
[/condition]
<tr><td colspan="2"><font size="-2">Suggested Price: [currency][item-field 
listprice][/currency]</font></td></tr>
[/if]

I found the if explicit to be less confusing, and make sure your are using 
the proper compare for the data types. I'm new to Perl, but you don't get 
the expected results when you are comparing a string to a numeric.
