I'm a bit stuck here. I'm trying to determine whether a variable
consists of just numbers or has characters and numbers in it. I tried
$foo =~ /\D/
to catch any non-digits, but since I pull this var out of a DB as text,
i think perl is treating it as text also, even if it is just a number.
Any help is much appreciated.
