Equivalent to Integer?

cdherold has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Yup, I'm back already.

I'm trying to do the following:

 
if ( $base/3 !== integer){then do this;}
[download]

but i don't know what to use for the integer variable? I only want it the program to continue if $base/3 is NOT an integer. If i'm being an idiot please let me know. this seems like it should be a very easy one.

thanks again,

cdherold

int

if ( $base/3 != int($base/3)){then do this;}

'perldoc -f int'

perldoc is your friend

UPDATE:

'perldoc -q integer'
