The code is syntactically wrong. You have to concatenate the strings by
the dot operator:
_("If you ..."
~ . "A message ..."
~ . "If you ..."
~ etc.
But Locale::Maketext:::Extract will still only extract the first part of
the message because it does not handle the concatenation operator.
You should give the standard C version of gettext a try. Beginning with
version 1.12 GNU gettext supports Perl, and it recognizes almost all
string types that Perl knows, for example:
print _<<EOF;
If you ...
A message ...
If you ...
EOF
Just try "xgettext yourscript.pl YourModule.pm ..."
BTW, gettext() is not a variadic function, neither in Perl nor in C. It
takes exactly one argument, the msgid.
Still BTW, it is generally a bad idea to use a single underscore as an
alias for gettext(). That function is automatically global.
Regards,
Guido
