Re^3: Any improvement over the code possible??

its not giving what I expected

You need to tell us what you expect it to do. Or read the doc I linked to:

looks_like_number EXPR

Returns true if perl thinks EXPR is a number.

OK. got it worked by using the below code: - `use Scalar::Util 'looks_like_number'; my $result = looks_like_number('abc');` [download] Do we have to import functions like this only? Else I have to do it for every function I import??	[reply] [d/l]

Different modules have different requirements, which are usually in the docs: By default Scalar::Util does not export any subroutines. So, for this module, you must import explicitly. See also perldoc -f use	[reply]
