Re^5: Any improvement over the code possible??

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??

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]
