Re: regex for numbers

you got obvious and wise answers; I'm not here for this :) What about { local $@; eval 0 + $maybe_a_number ... }?

Perl happily accepts `0 + '1.1.'` (well, it warns, but it doesn't throw an exception). So, eval alone isn't enough. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

So, eval alone isn't enough. ... and if the idea was to capture the `numeric` warnings, then Scalar::Util's `looks_like_number` provides the same functionality.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
