Thank you for your consideration. I was unaware of any separate attempts to publish something of this nature. For some reason, the line of discussion o which you referred me and the modules in question never came up in my CPAN searches. In any case, I have reviewed the Lingua::EN::NumsToWords solution, and while I find it less elegant than my own solution, I see no need to further clutter this namespace at CPAN.
