README for Locale::Maketext Time-stamp: "2000-05-14 00:59:21 MDT" 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).
