[mv] perl integers

hi all,

i have a simple but crucial question:
in [perl], i am in trouble with that perl integer/string type cast!

$rate = '[data table="taxgroups" field="rate" key="[item-field
taxgroup]"]';
# this database field is absolutely an integer
$rate +=  10;  # not work!!!!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Now this does not work but:

$rate = '[item-field taxrate]';
$rate += 20;
This pretty works!!!

I see it is from string/integer casting but how can i eliminate this? I
remeber a past post n this topic searched archives for hours but could
not find it.

i tried a double-bracked version and also with q{} but did not work out.

Please help asap.

best,
Sezer.
