Description: module to figure out type of a scalar
Perl scalars can be either strings or numbers, and normally you don't really
care which is which as it will do all the necessary type conversions
automagically.
.
But in some rare cases, generally when you are serialising data, the
difference matters. Scalar::Type provides some useful functions to help you
figure out what's what.
