perl-Text-Roman

Allows conversion between Roman and Arabic algarisms.

This package supports both conventional Roman algarisms (which range from _1_ to _3999_) and Milhar Romans, a variation which uses a bar across the algarism to indicate multiplication by _1_000_. For the purposes of this module, acceptable syntax consists of an underscore suffixed to the algarism e.g. IV_V = _4_005_. The term Milhar apparently derives from the Portuguese word for "thousands" and the range of this notation extends the range of Roman numbers to _3999 * 1000 + 3999 = 4_002_999_. Note: the functions in this package treat Roman algarisms in a case-insensitive manner such that "VI" == "vI" == "Vi" == "vi". The following functions may be imported into the caller package by name:
