DESCRIPTION

The module does not necessarily work on your system. It depends on the presence of shared libraries that are not always available. The higher-level modules Locale::TextDomain::(3), resp. Locale::Messages(3) will fall back to a pure Perl version if boostrapping Locale::gettext_xs fails.

The interface of Locale::gettext_xs is mostly identical to the pure Perl version as described in Locale::gettext_pp(3), see there for details. Differences are outlined below.

Locale::gettext_xs is downwards compatible to Locale::gettext(3) by Phillip Vandry <vandry@Mlink.NET>. You can use it as replacement for Locale::gettext(3).

Please note that directory names passed to the function bindtextdomain() are automatically converted from Perl semantics (slash as directory separator) to local semantics (for example the backslash for MS-DOS).

AUTHOR

The module is based on the work of Phillip Vandry <vandry@Mlink.NET> in Locale::gettext(3).
