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").

dgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
dcgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, CATEGORY: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
ngettext MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.

LC_TIME
LC_COLLATE
LC_MONETARY
LC_MESSAGES

use Locale::gettext_pp qw(':locale_h'): Imports the functions that are normally defined in the C include file locale.h:
