Dear Monks,

We would have come across the problem when we want to print like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th....11th, 12th,.. ie. st, nd th should be given for the numbers accordingly.

I tried following code.

$nouser = 5;
if  ($nouser !~ /^\d{2}$/)
{
$nouser = $nouser.'st' if ($nouser =~ /(1)$/);
$nouser = $nouser.'nd' if ($nouser =~ /(2)$/);
$nouser = $nouser.'rd' if ($nouser =~ /(3)$/);
$nouser = $nouser.'th' if ($nouser =~ /(4|5|6|7|8|9|0)$/);
}
else
{
    $nouser = $nouser.'th';
}

But when we come to 111th, 112th it wont work properly. Is there any module for this?

Regards,
Anniyan
