How do I check for a page attribute value?

I have a check box in the page attribute template. How can I do something on a page if that checkbox is checked (ie value = true)?

This doesn't work:

if (perch_page_attribute('deactivate', true)=='true') {
PerchSystem::redirect('/redirected-page.php');
}

Have you tried just this...

if (perch_page_attribute('deactivate', true)) {
PerchSystem::redirect('/redirected-page.php');
}

No joy with that either :(

<perch:pages id="deactivate" type="checkbox" label="Deactivate this page" help="Tick this box to deactivate this page" value="true" suppress="true"  />

It doesn't :(

Does the page it redirects to have to have been created in Perch for PerchSystem::redirect to work? It does have perch regions on it but was not created by perch itself.

Hmph... no idea why it's not working then!
