Bloomin <a href=http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=45255&lastnode_id=864"> 'limeys', always whingin about something, ;^). My other post that points to this, does say how I had missed out different number formats, and I knew I was a bad boy for doing so.

ar0n quite rightly pointed out that lhoward has done this already on CPAN, he uses regex to perform the substitution and hashes to hold the values and he greatly exceeds the number of magnitudes I use.

As for the number format, is it wrong? I checked it and it worked for british numbers. lhowards works for several of formats.
