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.
