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.
Other number formatting modules: Number::Format, Format::Human::Bytes, Number::Bytes::Human.
