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.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
