This document describes version 0.602 of Number::Format::Metric (from Perl distribution Number-Format-Metric), released on 2023-02-14.
use Number::Format::Metric qw(format_metric); format_metric(14 , {base=>10}); # => "14.0" format_metric(14 , {base=>10, precision=>0}); # => "14" format_metric(12001 , {base=> 2, precision=>1}); # => "11.7k" format_metric(12001 , {base=>10, precision=>3}); # => "12.001ki" format_metric(-0.0017, {base=>10}); # => "-1.7m" format_metric(1.26e6 , {base=>10}); # => "1.3Mi"
None exported by default but all of them exportable.
Format $num using metric prefix. Locale settings are respected (this module uses locale). Might produce non-Latin Unicode characters (e.g. μ for 1e-6 prefix). Known options:
$num
base => INT (either 2 or 10, default: 2)
precision => INT
i_mark => BOOL (default: 1)
Give "i" suffix to prefixes when in base 10 for k, M, G, T, and so on.

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
