DESCRIPTION

35       The module Locale::gettext_xs is the low-level interface to message
36       translation according to the Uniforum approach that is for example used
37       in GNU gettext and Sun's Solaris.
38
39       The module does not necessarily work on your system.  It depends on the
40       presence of shared libraries that are not always available.  The
41       higher-level modules Locale::TextDomain::(3), resp.
42       Locale::Messages(3) will fall back to a pure Perl version if
43       boostrapping Locale::gettext_xs fails.
44
45       The interface of Locale::gettext_xs is mostly identical to the pure
46       Perl version as described in Locale::gettext_pp(3), see there for
47       details.  Differences are outlined below.
48
49       Locale::gettext_xs is downwards compatible to Locale::gettext(3) by
50       Phillip Vandry <vandry@Mlink.NET>.  You can use it as replacement for
51       Locale::gettext(3).
52
53       Please note that directory names passed to the function
54       bindtextdomain() are automatically converted from Perl semantics (slash
55       as directory separator) to local semantics (for example the backslash
56       for MS-DOS).
