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

Enjoy!
Bruno + Guido
