CHECK_PERLDIAG(1)

💖 CHECK_PERLDIAG 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual — the manual name is literally right there in the title: CHECK_PERLDIAG(1). she's giving very specific, very useful little helper energy, and we're gonna get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

check_perldiag — check a localized version of perldiag for consistency 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

From the command line, you run it like this:

check_perldiag POD2::FR::perldiag

that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so basically, this script compares a translated version of perldiag against the default perldiag that's installed with perl. it goes through each error message in the two files and tells you if they do not match 👀 like, it's a consistency check, a little vibe check for your translations, no cap.

and listen — a warning gets issued if the two files contain a different number of error messages defined 😭 so if one file has more or fewer messages than the other, you're gonna hear about it, fr fr.

it's not out here rewriting your translations for you, bestie — it's just comparing and reporting. the way that it keeps you honest? iconic.

and that's the whole page, babe ✨ this was perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-07-25, and it lives in the CHECK_PERLDIAG(1) manual section — go off, go check your perldiag translations, and slay 💖🫶👑
