I have a file that contain list of numbers that looks like this:

10^-92
2 10^-14
10^-105
3 10^-20

To explain a bit further 10^-92 is essentially 1E-92 and 2 10^-14 is 2E^-14. Is there a compact way to convert the number in above file into Perl number? At the end I want to sort these number numerically.
