While Don Cragun put in an impressive amount of work, my first thought when I saw the problem was that there is probably a Perl module for that.

Lingua::EN::Nums2Words - search.cpan.org

I don't know if it works, but you should be able to download the above Perl module using CPAN and probably find a pre-written script that will do the heavy lifting. The great part about using pre-built modules is that someone else is already maintaining the code.

Sorry DRL, I reread the post and realized that you already posted the same answer. It's worth noting that Lingua::EN::Numbers is probably not installed by default.
