Number formatting doubt

[lilly07]

Hi,

I get to get a number 3076569 along a flow in my program which needs to be displayed in a html page. How to change the formatting into 3,00,76,569 as human readable? Any staraight forward method or I need to count the digit and out a comma? Thanks.

I guess i will post the code for this place but Kevin also gave you the answer.

$num = 3076569;
$num = Format($num);
 
sub Format {
   ($a = shift) =~ s/\G(\d{1,3})(?=(?:\d\d\d)+(?:\.|$))/$1,/g; 
   return $a; 
}

print "$num";
