Why not say, just before
How can I output Roman numerals?
Add a
How can I output thousands separated by e.g., commas?
With answer
$_=26**7; $_=reverse; s/.../$&,/g; $_=reverse; print;
8,031,810,176
Or a better answer, if any.
(I notice
$ man 3 printf
has a "'": For decimal conversion (i, d, u, f, F, g, G) the output is
to be grouped with thousands' grouping...
but not perl.)

As Brendan noted, this is already in perlfaq5 (see 'perldoc -q commas'

Quoting 'perldoc -f sprintf':
Perl does its own "sprintf" formatting: it emulates the C function
sprintf(3), but doesn't use it except for floating-point numbers, and
even then only standard modifiers are allowed. Non-standard extensions
in your local sprintf(3) are therefore unavailable from Perl.
The "'" modifier is such a non-standard extension, coming from SUS not C99
(as stated by sprintf(3)).
I'm closing this.
