Subject: Scalar::Util looks_like_number is true for array/hash refs
Following code illustrates the bug: use Scalar::Util 'looks_like_number'; my $a = [ ]; my $h = { }; print looks_like_number($a), "\n"; print looks_like_number($h), "\n"; It should not return true values, since array and hash references aren't numbers. (They certainly don't look like numbers to me.) This may be an issue with the PerlAPI though....
