Also, it's more obfuscated than golf.
perl -lne'sub a{print+local$*=$*.shift,a(@_)for(1)x@_};a/./g'
is the golf version. This one takes input from STDIN, as requested.
Same output, different order:
perl -Xlne'sub a{print+local$*=pop.$*,a(@_)for(1)x@_};a/./g'

More than 95% of all CPAN modules are more than 95% too long.
Lingua-EN-Words2Nums is a typical example.
