Neil,
How about something along the lines of Lingua::EN::WordifyNumerics?
Hmmm ... you think that's better than Daniel's suggestion of
"Lingua::EN::Numbers::Combined"? Thats what I'm leaning towards ATM.
Considering just the name:
Lingua::EN::Numbers::Combined
I might think:
* Lingua: so this is to do with processing natural language
* EN: so we're talking about English
* Numbers: so it's something to do with numbers in english
* Combined: maybe adding numbers, combining numbers in some way, or ...
In my many years of monitoring this list, the one thing I've learned is
that no matter what name I pick, someone will misunderstand the
intention. ;->
I don't think that "WordifyNumerics" is a very good name either, but it
does try to make clear what the module does.
Maybe Lingua::EN::Numbers::ReplaceNumerics?
I suppose that's not bad either.
This has given me an idea for another module,
Lingua::EN::Numbers::WithUnits, or a new function in Lingua::EN::Numbers :-)
* 5oz becomes "five ounces"
* 8kgs becomes "eight kilograms"
Excellent! Write that and I'll stick it into
Lingua::EN::Numbers::Replace::Digits::in::Sentences::or::Phrases::with::Actual::Words.[1]
:-)
