NAME

Convert::Number::Armenian - convert between Armenian and Western numerals

SYNOPSIS

use Convert::Number::Armenian qw( arm2int int2arm );

my $armenian_rep = int2arm( 1999 );
my $decimal_val  = arm2int( 'ՌՋՂԹ' );

DESCRIPTION

This is a relatively simple module for converting between Armenian-style numbers and their Western decimal representations. The module exports two functions on request: arm2int and int2arm.

FUNCTIONS

arm2int

Takes a string that contains an Armenian number and returns the decimal value. The function tries to deal with common though non-canonical representations such as ՃՌ for 100,000. The Armenian string may be upper- or lowercase, or a mix of both.

int2arm

Takes a number and returns its Armenian representation in canonical form, meaning an uppercase string with digit values descending from left to right. At the moment only values between 1 and 29999 can be converted.

TODO

The module as written depends on correct Perl Unicode behavior; that means that on earlier versions of Perl this module may not work as expected. As soon as I work out which is the minimum version, I will update the module with the correct requirement.

Armenian ligatures probably won't produce the correct result for arm2int.
