That is a _numeric_ equality test.

You should always enable warnings when developing Perl code, it
would have found your mistake for you!

You should have the if statement (not If statement, case matters)
in actual Perl syntax, which requires parenthesis around the condition:

if ($query->param('distribution')) {

Please don't waste the time of hundreds (thousands?) of people
around the world with non-Perl code, nor with problems easily
found by a machine.
