Lingua::EN::Words2Nums is a perl module that can parse a wide variety of English text and deduce the number it represents. For example, it can convert "five million, one thousand and sixteen" to 5001016, and "twenty-seventh" to 27.

Lingua::EN::Words2Nums is available from CPAN, is packaged for Debian in the liblingua-en-words2nums package, and has a git repository at git://git.joeyh.name/words2nums
