Message-Id: <yCjof.2$ce5.1@tornado.southeast.rr.com>

I'm searching for a module, if it exists, that can take in a string with
commas, underscores, spaces, etc ("human readable") numbers, and check it
to see if it's a valid number.

So the module would do something like this:

$valid = verify("1,000,000"); # Valid
$valid = verify("5,00"); # Invalid in the US where . is the decimal seperator.

Does such a module exist in the Math tree or somewhere else?  Searching
Google and CPAN didn't provide any leads.

Thanks,
Wade
