Hi Peter,

Yes, the "sometimes it works" behavior it what was throwing me off.  I kept trying to 
figure out
how I had failed to initialize something.  I think I might dig into the Perl source to 
find out
why "looks_like_number" will sometimes succeed.  That's rather curious and it doesn't 
seem right.

Thanks for the NOISY tip!  That should help quite a bit.

Cheers,
Ovid
