Hm, but what of the "null" value?  Also, I get

$ perl -e 'use warnings; use Test::More; ok("2017-01-01" != "null", "ok");'
Argument "null" isn't numeric in numeric ne (!=) at -e line 1.
Argument "2017-01-01" isn't numeric in numeric ne (!=) at -e line 1.
ok 1 - ok
# Tests were run but no plan was declared and done_testing() was not seen.
