SYNOPSIS

use Lingua::POR::Words2Nums qw/word2num/;

DESCRIPTION

Word 2 number conversion in POR.

Words2Nums converts Portuguese words to numbers (works with numbers ranging from 0 to 999.999.999.999.999.999).

Not all possible ways to write a number have been implemented (some people write "nove mil novecentos e um", some people write "nove mil, novecentos e um"; Words2Nums currently supports only the first way, without commas; also, the word "bilião" is supported, but not "bilhão").
