DESCRIPTION

30       The module Locale::gettext_pp is the low-level interface to message
31       translation according to the Uniforum approach that is for example used
32       in GNU gettext and Sun's Solaris.
33
34       Normally you should not use this module directly, but the high level
35       interface Locale::TextDomain(3) that provides a much simpler inter‐
36       face.     This description is therefore deliberately kept
37       brief.    Please refer to the GNU gettext documentation available at
38       <http://www.gnu.org/manual/gettext/> for in-depth and background infor‐
39       mation on the topic.

FUNCTIONS

42       The module exports by default nothing.  Every function has to be
43       imported explicitely or via an export tag ("EXPORT TAGS").
44
45       gettext MSGID
46           See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
47
48       dgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID
49           See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
50
51       dcgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, CATEGORY
52           See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
53
54       ngettext MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT

EXPORT TAGS

87       This module does not export anything unless explicitely requested.  You
88       can import groups of functions via two tags:
89
90       use Locale::gettext_pp (':locale_h')
91           Imports the functions that are normally defined in the C include
92           file locale.h:
93
94           gettext()
95           dgettext()
96           dcgettext()
97           ngettext()
98           dngettext()
99           dcngettext()
100           textdomain()
101           bindtextdomain()
102           bind_textdomain_codeset()
103       use Locale::gettext_pp (':libintl_h')
104           Imports the locale category constants:
105
106           LC_CTYPE
107           LC_NUMERIC
108           LC_TIME
109           LC_COLLATE
110           LC_MONETARY
