DESCRIPTION

The module Locale::gettext_pp is the low-level interface to message translation according to the Uniforum approach that is for example used in GNU gettext and Sun's Solaris.

Normally you should not use this module directly, but the high level interface Locale::TextDomain(3) that provides a much simpler interface. This description is therefore deliberately kept brief. Please refer to the GNU gettext documentation available at http://www.gnu.org/manual/gettext/ for in-depth and background information on the topic.

FUNCTIONS

The module exports by default nothing. Every function has to be
imported explicitely or via an export tag (EXPORT TAGS).

gettext MSGID: See FUNCTIONS in the Locale::Messages manpage.
dgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID: See FUNCTIONS in the Locale::Messages manpage.
dcgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, CATEGORY: See FUNCTIONS in the Locale::Messages manpage.
ngettext MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT: See FUNCTIONS in the Locale::Messages manpage.
dngettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT: See FUNCTIONS in the Locale::Messages manpage.
dcngettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT, CATEGORY: See FUNCTIONS in the Locale::Messages manpage.
textdomain TEXTDOMAIN: See FUNCTIONS in the Locale::Messages manpage.
bindtextdomain TEXTDOMAIN, DIRECTORY: See FUNCTIONS in the Locale::Messages manpage.
bind_textdomain_codeset TEXTDOMAIN, ENCODING
nl_putenv ENVSPEC: See FUNCTIONS in the Locale::Messages manpage.

CONSTANTS

You can (maybe) get the same constants from POSIX(3); see there for a detailed description

LC_CTYPE
LC_NUMERIC
LC_TIME
LC_COLLATE
LC_MONETARY
LC_MESSAGES
LC_ALL: See CONSTANTS in the Locale::Messages manpage for more information.

EXPORT TAGS

This module does not export anything unless explicitely requested. You can import groups of functions via two tags:

use Locale::gettext_pp (':locale_h')

Imports the functions that are normally defined in the C include file locale.h:

gettext()
dgettext()
dcgettext()
ngettext()
dngettext()
dcngettext()
textdomain()
bindtextdomain()
bind_textdomain_codeset()

use Locale::gettext_pp (':libintl_h')

Imports the locale category constants:

LC_CTYPE
LC_NUMERIC
LC_TIME
LC_COLLATE
LC_MONETARY
LC_MESSAGES
LC_ALL
