&gt;You can confidently interview elsewhere for a higher salary. You don't have to take the job, but you can show it to your manager. 

Who will do one (or more) of the following;

1) Laugh at you.
2) Feed you some BS about how you're actually fairly compensated when you consider "perks".  Last time I tried to pay my mortgage with "perks" I nearly got arrested.
3) Accuse you of lying about the offer ("You could have made that yourself!")
4) Threaten you with termination for interviewing elsewhere (as obviously you're not a loyal employee).
5) Actually fire you (see #4).
6) Tell you he'll take it up the chain to see what can be done.. 
6a) Which will be "nothing", and/or
6b) He will "forget" to pass it on, and/or
6c) Upper management will do any of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
7) He will match the deal, but mysteriously before the "paperwork can go through" for the match, you will be fired and replaced.

The correct answer is to find a new job at a better salary, then leave and don't look back.
