Just following up on this a little more. My current plan for PGNumeric is to try to write a wrapper that uses Math::BigFloat for storage and locale for formatting. The idea is that each class basically includes 4 methods: $object = Class->from_input($string); # human entered $string = $object->to_output(); # Localized $object = Class->from_dbstring($string); #Standard db format $string = $object->to_dbstring(); # Standard db format The underlying storage object would be available via an accessor for calculation purposes.
