Hi all,
I'm looking for an usable perl module that supports message catalogs.
On CPAN, I found the following modules:
- i18n
- Locale::TextDomain
I would like to combine the usage of the message catalogs with
Log::Log4perl.
Has anybody experience with the usage of these modules? Which one
would you recommend? Are there any better practices?
Thank you for your support,
Lubos

Locale::TextDomain works fine for us here. Just put
use Locale::TextDomain 'appname', undef;
at the top of your scripts and call gettext() or it's short cut __().
You definitely want to take a look at __x() which is the function you want
to use to interpolate values into messages.
Using Locale::TextDomain you are able to extract the messages with
xgettext this way:
xgettext --keyword=__ --keyword=__x --language=perl --from-code=utf-8 \
-o appname.pot -f list_of_files_to_extract_messages_from
