You could try using a regular expression:
#!/usr/bin/env perl use warnings; use strict; check_int('55'); check_int(0xff); check_int(123); check_int('#123'); check_int('$123'); sub check_int { my $num = shift; if ($num =~ /\D/) { print "Not an integer: $num\n"; } else { print "An integer: $num\n"; } }

prints out:

An integer: 55 An integer: 255 An integer: 123 Not an integer: #123 Not an integer: $123

Can you show some examples of integers with $ and #, along with some code that you've tried?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
