One more way.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my %huge_trans = (
zero => 0,
one => 1,
ones => 11,
two => 2,
three => 3,
# ...
million => 1_000_000,
);
my $rx_word = qr/\b\w+\b/i;
print <> =~ s!($rx_word)! $huge_trans{lc $1} // $1 !ger;
Imagine you have huge dictionary for translation. Then this way should work faster.
Previously suggested way with alternations should also work fast, because Trie-optimization should kick-in.
Upd. BTW, it is not about "combining regex'es", it's only a use of a hash. All words, i.e. hash keys, must be simple words, not regexes.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
