Hi Peter, Yes, the "sometimes it works" behavior it what was throwing me off. I kept trying to figure out how I had failed to initialize something. I think I might dig into the Perl source to find out why "looks_like_number" will sometimes succeed. That's rather curious and it doesn't seem right. Thanks for the NOISY tip! That should help quite a bit.
