Since they're not pure numbers, Perl is treating them like strings, and then the comparison follows the rules of the strcmp function. The first and second character in both are the same, but the third is different, and 1 comes before 9, and is thus considered lower.

fstrcmp
fstrcmp(3) Library Functions Manual fstrcmp(3)
NAME
fstrcmp - fuzzy comparison of two strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <fstrcmp.h>
#define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL
#define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD
#define FSTRCMP_ERROR
double fstrcmp(const char *string1, const char *string2);
DESCRIPTION
The fstrcmp() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2.
RETURN VALUE
The fstrcmp function returns a floating point value between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL. A value of 0.0 means the strings are utterly un-
alike. A value of FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical. A value of more than FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0.0 and
FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.
A value of FSTRCMP_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure.
