Using regular expressions I match a criteria in a text string, such as:

@duration = $string =~ /\sduration=(.*?)\s/;

The first element in duration contains "1.23", in a string format

When I try to insert $duration[0], into a field of integer type in a database, 
I get the Following error:

Error Column "duration" is of type integer but expression is of type character 
varying 

How can I convert my string "1.23" into a integer value, so I can insert 
correctly in the database


Thanks in advanced
