Thanks folks. I think I'll go with looks_like_number from
Scalar::Util. I like to use library routines where possible. I don't
know how I overlooked that, since I poked through Scalar::Util earlier.
It just seems bizarre to me that something like that isn't a builtin. I
mean, you can't even tell strings from numbers? I'm used to working in
strongly typed languages.
