NAME

Math::BigInt::Named - Math::BigInts that know their name in some languages

SYNOPSIS

  use Math::BigInt::Named;

  $x = Math::BigInt::Named->new($str);

  print $x->name(),"\n";                        # default is english
  print $x->name( language => 'de' ),"\n";      # but German is possible
  print $x->name( language => 'German' ),"\n";  # like this
  print $x->name( { language => 'en' } ),"\n";  # this works, too

  print Math::BigInt::Named->from_name('einhundert dreiundzwanzig),"\n";

DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of Math::BigInt and adds support for named numbers.

MATH LIBRARY

Math with the numbers is done (by default) by a module called Math::BigInt::Calc. This is equivalent to saying:

        use Math::BigInt::Named lib => 'Calc';

You can change this by using:

        use Math::BigInt::Named lib => 'BitVect';

The following would first try to find Math::BigInt::Foo, then Math::BigInt::Bar, and when this also fails, revert to Math::BigInt::Calc:

        use Math::BigInt::Named lib => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar';

BUGS

None know yet. Please see also the Math::BigInt manpage.
