get_units this is where the unit definitions come from. if you want to add new unit types, do so here.

TODO =item can add DDG massaging later if useful =item need better error handling =item add complete test suite =item all args to functions should be hash refs! =item store units data in a file? =item add more unit types (digital, cooking, etc.)
