Hi there

I'm a new bird to Perl - and I have a little problem.

I have a file input where I split the file into an array and that works
fine, but there is some "spam" in the beginning of the file I want to
get rid of - the problem is that I never know how many lines there is
with this "spam"!

Therefore I want to make a check that excludes all lines there doesn't
start with a number in other languages I would make a check like 

If (! isNaN(string)) {
.....
}

How do I make this check In Perl?

I haven't been able to find something similar in Perl, but I know that
it should be possible.

Best regards
Bo
