I've done quite a number of IMHO reasonable searches on CPAN for a module to spell out numbers in English, but I'm having a hard time finding one. Maybe I'm not just that reasonable nor skilled in searches... After some efforts I could locate Math::BigInt::Named, but I am having troubles with it (this is the subject of another question)... and while I do want to solve them, if not for anything else because I can't understand what's going wrong, I would also like to know if there are other modules suited for my needs, taking into account that I don't really need to operate on big integers. If none exists, then I will probably steal code from Math::BigInt::Named::English, but that's my last resort.

Update: thanks to both gjb and andreas1234567 for the suggestions. It seems my search-jutsu is not that refined: I had been searching for various combinations of qw/number string english inflect spell name/...
