Lingua::EN::Number::Format::MixWithWords - Format number to a mixture of numbers and words (e.g. 12.3 million)

VERSION

This document describes version 0.08 of Lingua::EN::Number::Format::MixWithWords (from Perl distribution Lingua-EN-Number-Format-MixWithWords), released on 2016-06-14.

SYNOPSIS

use Lingua::EN::Number::Format::MixWithWords qw(format_number_mix);

print format_number_mix(num => 1.23e7); # prints "12.3 million"

DESCRIPTION

This module formats number with English names of large numbers (thousands, millions, billions, and so on), e.g. 1.23e7 becomes "12.3 million". If number is too small or too large so it does not have any appropriate names, it will be formatted like a normal number.

FUNCTIONS
