You should be able to use Lingua::EN::FindNumber for this, with a while loop and s///g. Plus, it's just been recently adopted by Neil Bowers! (I find that looking at the PAUSE index directly is usually the fastest way to find things - I searched for lingua.*number in my editor and it popped right out.)
