11
12         numify($text); # "87 years ago, our 4 fathers..."
13
14         @numbers = extract_numbers($text); # "Fourscore and seven", "four"

DESCRIPTION

20       English text. It also provides functions for extracting and
21       manipulating such numbers.

EXPORTED METHODS

24   extract_numbers / numify / $number_re
25         numify($text); # "87 years ago, our 4 fathers..."
26
27         @numbers = extract_numbers($text); # "Fourscore and seven", "four"
28
29         while ($text =~ /$number_re/g) { # Build your own iterator

SEE ALSO

32       This module was written for the Natural Languages chapter of the second
33       edition of Advanced Perl Programming.
34
35       This module works rather well in conjunction with
36       Lingua::EN::Words2Nums, which is a very cool module anyway.  (And Simon
37       stole some of this module's code from it. Thanks, Joey!)  It may also
38       be involved with Lingua::EN::NamedEntity in the future, so check that
39       one out too.
