       This module provides a regular expression for finding numbers in English text. It also provides functions
       for extracting and manipulating such numbers.

       <https://github.com/neilb/Lingua-EN-FindNumber>

       This module was written for the Natural Languages chapter of the second edition of Advanced Perl
       Programming.

       This module works rather well in conjunction with Lingua::EN::Words2Nums, which is a very cool module
       anyway.  (And Simon stole some of this module's code from it. Thanks, Joey!)  It may also be involved
       with Lingua::EN::NamedEntity in the future, so check that one out too.

         use Lingua::EN::FindNumber;
         my $text = "Fourscore and seven years ago, our four fathers...";

         numify($text); # "87 years ago, our 4 fathers..."

         @numbers = extract_numbers($text); # "Fourscore and seven", "four"

         while ($text =~ /$number_re/g) { # Build your own iterator
