Hi,

The just-released GNU gettext 0.13 has improved support for Perl programs:

  * xgettext now also supports Perl. Implemented by Guido Flohr.

  * The safe format strings introduced in libintl-perl are supported, in
    the sense that the tools verify that the translator must translate a
    format string with a compatible format string.

  * Two examples demonstrating the use of GNU gettext with Perl are available:
    One is shipped as part of GNU gettext and installed at
      $prefix/share/doc/gettext/examples/hello-perl.
    The other one is shipped as part of libintl-perl and viewable online at
      http://search.cpan.org/src/GUIDO/libintl-perl-1.08/sample/

URL: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.13.tar.gz
     http://search.cpan.org/dist/libintl-perl/

Enjoy!

                            Bruno + Guido
