module fails with very large cardinals

perl -Mbigint -MLingua::EN::Numbers=num2en -e 'print num2en(10**10)' ten billion perl -Mbigint -MLingua::EN::Numbers=num2en -e 'print num2en(10**100)' ten times ten to the zeroth It seems not to be able to handle anything over nonillion (1E30), which is fine, but it should then use appropriate exponential notation.

This is a bug in _groupify. The final line reads return "$basic " . "times ten to the " . num2en_ordinal($basic * 3); but it should read return "$basic " . "times ten to the " . num2en_ordinal($multnum * 3); A fixed version of the module is here: https://github.com/benkasminbullock/Lingua-EN-Numbers

Thank you! Will this be on CPAN? I have autoupdate for about a nonillion servers... SSF
