Thanks Perlbotics. This has less functionality than Lingua::EN::Numbers but handles larger numbers. Mind you, if I ever saw something like three vigintillion written down, I'd probably need to look it up. :-)

So I did look it up: vigintillion = 1063

Not too sure how to work that into casual conversation without getting my face slapped, though.

Update: The only number I remember from when I studied molarity is twenty-two point four which is obviously substantially smaller then six vigintillion. :-)

(I remember it from: 1 mole of a gas at stp has a volume of 22.4l)

Update 2: s{1023}{1063} - curious typo as my source had the correct value.
