Perl Weekly Challenge 091
=========================

Task #1
-------
*Count Number*

Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar

You are given a positive number $N.

Write a script to count number and display as you read it.

Example 1:

 Input: $N = 1122234
 Output: 21321314

 as we read "two 1 three 2 one 3 one 4"

Example 2:

 Input: $N = 2333445
 Output: 12332415

 as we read "one 2 three 3 two 4 one 5"

Example 3:

 Input: $N = 12345
 Output: 1112131415

 as we read "one 1 one 2 one 3 one 4 one 5"
