Did you read perlfaq4? I didn't think so.
perldoc -q integer
Found in /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/pod/perlfaq4.pod
How do I determine whether a scalar is a
number/whole/integer/float?

Why are you quoting a scalar? Do you need to have all that whiespace
included?
perldoc -q quoting
Found in /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/pod/perlfaq4.pod
What's wrong with always quoting "$vars"?

You have a '?' or a '+' or a '*' or '{}' in your regular expression that
is in the wrong place. See the entry in perlfaq4 on how to determine
whether a scalar is an integer.

Try searching in perldiag.pod
perldoc perldiag
Or use the diagnostics module in your code
#!/usr/bin/perl
use diagnostics;
use strict;
