There was a post about this exact thing a few weeks or so ago. I can't remember who
posted it but
Here is what I use, works like a monkey in heat!
#!/usr/bin/perl
$commify_this_number = $ARGV[0];
$commify_this_number =~ s/(^[-+]?\d+?(?=(?>(?:\d{3})+)(?!\d))|\G\d{3}(?=\d))/$1,/g;
print $commify_this_number;
It will put commas in the proper places on digits to the left of a decimal or letters.
