Just to make things complicated, I designed a Number::Words module, which I never submitted to CPAN, that supports this functionality in English, Spanish, French, Hawaiian, and Japanese, and can be easily extended to other languages/locales as well. It uses an object-oriented architecture with inheritance that makes it very easy to add new languages, often without even writing any code (just composing a static data structure which the program uses to convert numbers into words for that language). You can download the code, or view a demo, on my website at: http://www.bayview.com/software/perl.shtml --Bill. -- William R Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wards.net/~bill/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
