Perl data type checking

I am using perl 5.8.0.

I need to check some values to see it they are floats. Our system does not have Data::Types so I can't use is_float. Is there something else that I can use? The only thing in Data is Dump.pm. I am not allowed to download anything to our system so I have to use what I have. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
