[Pdx-pm] New DA question - sub return'd values

Sometimes I feel like Red (from "That 70's Show) is talking to me!
When I use 'return N;' -- where N is a number -- in a sub(routine) is N
returned as as a number or a string?
I ask because I'm having some issues using the values in a (faked) switch
construct.
$_ = typeofcust($username, $password);
CASE: {
/1/ and do { ... ;
last CASE; };
/2/ and do { ... ;
last CASE; };
/3/ and do { ... ;
last CASE; }
blow_chunks;
}
If typeofcust() returns a value from 1, 2 or 3 is $_ treated as a string
or number by the match operation?
Once again - TIA,
Rod
