Hello,

This is not really a Perl question, although I need it for a script I'm writing. What it does is, you pass a number to it (for example '1435') and then it returns 'one thousand thirty five'. Well, this works, actually :) The question is, what parts are concatenated.
For example, do you write "thirty five", "thirty-five" or "thirtyfive"? Same goes for 400: "four hundred" or "fourhundred"? And what about 430: "four hundred thirty", "fourhundred thirty", "four hundredthirty" etc... Same goes for 1100: "one\s?thousand\s?one\s?hundred".

So, could anyone please give me a rule of thumb how this is done? Thank you :)
