NAME

6       Lingua::EN::Numbers::Easy - Hash access to Lingua::EN::Numbers objects.

SYNOPSIS

9           use Lingua::EN::Numbers::Easy;
10
11           print "$N{1} fish, $N{2} fish, blue fish, red fish";
12                                # one fish, two fish, blue fish, red fish.

DESCRIPTION

15       "Lingua::EN::Numbers" is a module that translates numbers to English
16       words. Unfortunally, it has an object oriented interface, which makes
17       it hard to interpolate them in strings. "Lingua::EN::Numbers::Easy"
18       translates numbers to words using a tied hash, which can be
19       interpolated.
20
21       By default, "Lingua::EN::Numbers::Easy" exports a hash %N to the
22       importing package. This can be changed by giving "use
23       Lingua::EN::Numbers::Easy" an argument - this argument is the name of
24       the hash that will be used instead:
25
26           use Lingua::EN::Numbers::Easy qw /%nums/;
27
28       would use %nums as the tied hash.
29
30       See also the "Lingua::EN::Numbers" man page.
31
32       "Lingua::EN::Numbers::Easy" caches results - numbers will only be
33       translated once.
34
35       Any other operation on the exported hash than fetches will throw an
36       exception.
37
38   History
39       This module was created at the end of the 20th century, when
40       "Lingua::EN::Numbers" has a clunky, OO interface.  Nowadays,
41       "Lingua::EN::Numbers" has procedural interface as well, lessening the
42       need for "Lingua::EN::Numbers::Easy".
43
44       Furthermore, "Lingua::EN::Numbers" no longer supports different British
45       and American modes. Therefore, the support for the modes has been
46       dropped in "Lingua::EN::Numbers" as well.
47
48       As for 2014, "Lingua::EN::Numbers" does not have an OO interface
49       anymore, just a procedurial one. There's probably no need for
50       "Lingua::EN::Numbers::Easy" anymore, and the reason it was created is
51       now completely gone.
