NAME

SYNOPSIS

Formats numbers in the South Asian style. You can read more on Wikipedia here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asian_numbering_system

The format_number() method has a words parameter which tells it to use words rather than simply separating the numbers with commas.

my $formatter = Number::Format::SouthAsian->new();
say $formatter->format_number(12345678);             # 1,23,45,678
say $formatter->format_number(12345678, words => 1); # 1.2345678 crores

You can also specify words to new(), which has the affect of setting a default value to be used.

my $formatter = Number::Format::SouthAsian->new(words => 1);
say $formatter->format_number(12345678);             # 1.2345678 crores
say $formatter->format_number(12345678, words => 0); # 1,23,45,678
