Locale::Maketext
!!!! THIS IS AN UNDER-DOCUMENTED ALPHA RELEASE !!!!
Locale::Maketext is a base class providing a framework for software
localization and inheritance-based lexicons, as described in my
article in The Perl Journal #13 (which is on the way to your mailbox
and/or newsstand).
I rushed this out without proper documentation and examples, and have
just never gotten around to documenting it. I really really really
want to fix this, but just need to find a free afternoon (i.e., one
not otherwise consumed by more writing for TPJ, trying to patch bugs
in HTML-Tree, or, you know, my macrame) to fix it.
PREREQUISITES
This suite requires Perl 5. It also requires a recent version
of I18N::LangTags.
INSTALLATION
You install Locale::Maketext, as you would install any Perl module
distribution, by running these commands:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
If you want to install a private copy of Maketext in your home directory,
then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with something
like this command:
perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/perl
DOCUMENTATION
See the pods in Locale::Maketext.
SUPPORT
Questions, bug reports, useful code bits, and suggestions for
Worms should be sent to me at sburke@cpan.org
AVAILABILITY
The latest version of Locale::Maketext is available from the
Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Visit
to find a CPAN site near you.
