Output Parameters Variable Types allowed from Stored Procedure using DBI

All

Pretty new to PERL so I am still getting adjusted to it.

I am trying to call a stored procedure using DBI.  But when I want to 
return a output parameter that is a Numeric (or Int or Money, basically 
anything that not is a Varchar) it says it is not allowed and I should use 
the convert function.

Problem is, is that I do not own the stored procedure and can't change the 
logic to convert the value upon return.
Is there a way to allow my call to handle the output parameter of Numeric, 
etc?

Thanks for any help
