Number::Spell - Perl extension for spelling out numbers
use Number::Spell; my $str=spell_number(519252);
Number::Spell provides functionality for spelling out numbers. Currently only integers are supported.
By default Number::Spell does American formatting, but can be configured to do European formatting by calling it with the "Format => 'eu'" option:
spell_number( ... , Format => 'eu');
American and European formatting differ in how they represent numbers one billion and above.
number : 20000000000 (2 * 10^11) American format : twenty billion European format : twenty thousand million
With American formatting (default) Number::Spell should work for integers to
