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.
