perl-Number-Format

These functions provide an easy means of formatting numbers in a manner
suitable for displaying to the user.
There are two ways to use this package. One is to declare an object of type
Number::Format, which you can think of as a formatting engine. The various
functions defined here are provided as object methods. The constructor
'new()' can be used to set the parameters of the formatting engine. Valid
parameters are:
THOUSANDS_SEP     - character inserted between groups of 3 digits
  DECIMAL_POINT     - character separating integer and fractional parts
  MON_THOUSANDS_SEP - like THOUSANDS_SEP, but used for format_price
  MON_DECIMAL_POINT - like DECIMAL_POINT, but used for format_price
  INT_CURR_SYMBOL   - character(s) denoting currency (see format_price())
  DECIMAL_DIGITS    - number of digits to the right of dec point (def 2)
  DECIMAL_FILL      - boolean; whether to add zeroes to fill out decimal
  NEG_FORMAT        - format to display negative numbers (def ``-x'')
  KILO_SUFFIX       - suffix to add when format_bytes formats kilobytes (trad)
  MEGA_SUFFIX       -    "    "  "    "        "         "    megabytes (trad)
  GIGA_SUFFIX       -    "    "  "    "        "         "    gigabytes (trad)
  KIBI_SUFFIX       - suffix to add when format_bytes formats kibibytes (iec)
  MEBI_SUFFIX       -    "    "  "    "        "         "    mebibytes (iec)
  GIBI_SUFFIX       -    "    "  "    "        "         "    gibibytes (iec)
They may be specified in upper or lower case, with or without a leading
hyphen ( - ).
