About the 0+ issue, 0+ is only used in a boolean test, like while or ?:. In your code, you're actually using the + operator. You're just using it to add 0 to your var.
It's funny about Scalar::Util. I get the same thing. I can't wait to hear a reason...
You might try DBI::looks_like_number(), which does something I don't know what, but it looks cool! (I'm pretty sure that it checks for whether a var is currently being considered a number or a string.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
