Neil,

How about something along the lines of Lingua::EN::WordifyNumerics?

Hmmm ... you think that's better than Daniel's suggestion of
"Lingua::EN::Numbers::Combined"?  Thats what I'm leaning towards ATM.

Considering just the name:

Lingua::EN::Numbers::Combined

I might think:

  * Lingua: so this is to do with processing natural language
  * EN: so we're talking about English
  * Numbers: so it's something to do with numbers in english
  * Combined: maybe adding numbers, combining numbers in some way, or ...

In my many years of monitoring this list, the one thing I've learned is that no matter what name I pick, someone will misunderstand the intention. ;->

I don't think that "WordifyNumerics" is a very good name either, but it
does try to make clear what the module does.
Maybe Lingua::EN::Numbers::ReplaceNumerics?

I suppose that's not bad either.

This has given me an idea for another module,
Lingua::EN::Numbers::WithUnits, or a new function in Lingua::EN::Numbers :-)

  * 5oz becomes "five ounces"
  * 8kgs becomes "eight kilograms"

Excellent! Write that and I'll stick it into Lingua::EN::Numbers::Replace::Digits::in::Sentences::or::Phrases::with::Actual::Words.[1] :-)
