SYNOPSIS
# OO Style
use Lingua::ZH::Numbers 'pinyin';
my $shuzi = Lingua::ZH::Numbers->new( 123 );
print $shuzi->get_string;
my $lingyige_shuzi = Lingua::ZH::Numbers->new;
$lingyige_shuzi->parse( 7340 );
$chinese_string = $lingyige_shuzi->get_string;
# Function style
print number_to_zh( 345 ); # automatically exported
# Change output format
Lingua::ZH::Numbers->charset('big5');DESCRIPTION
This module tries to convert a number into Chinese cardinal number. It supports decimals number, and five representation systems (charsets): traditional, simplified, big5, gb and pinyin. The first two are returned as unicode strings; hence they are only available for Perl 5.6 and later versions.
The interface conforms to the one defined in Lingua::EN::Number, but you can also use this module in a functionnal manner by invoking the number_to_zh() function.
