I'd start with Lingua::EN::Units, and have the simple interface just
expanding 'oz' to 'ounce'.*  Include an option to also consider numbers, so
that '8 oz' turns into '8 ounces' or 'eight ounces' rather than '8 ounce'.

* which naturally deserves a 0.001 release all on its own, before moving on
to the more complicated case
