Number::Format is a library for formatting numbers. Functions are provided for converting numbers to strings in a variety of ways, and to convert strings that contain numbers back into numeric form. The output formats may include thousands separators - characters inserted between each group of three characters counting right to left from the decimal point. The characters used for the decimal point and the thousands separator come from the locale information or can be specified by the user. WWW: http://www.bayview.com/software/perl.shtml Seamus Venasse
