okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Msgcat(3) 💅 — it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation situation, and the header up top is the truncated Locale:...::Msgcat(3), so don't panic if the title looks like it got cut off mid-slay. the manual name is Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Msgcat.

💖 NAME 💖

Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Msgcat — Msgcat catalog parser Maketext. yep, that's the exact NAME line, bestie; it's the Msgcat catalog parser for Maketext.

✨ VERSION ✨

version 1.00 — yes, the page really says version 1.00.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the group-chat-ready code, exactly as written:

package Hello::I18N;
use base 'Locale::Maketext';
use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
    en => ['Msgcat', 'en_US/hello.pl.m'],
};

package main;
my $lh = Hello::I18N->get_handle('en');
print $lh->maketext(1,2);   # set 1, msg 2
print $lh->maketext("1,2"); # same thing

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this module parses one or more Msgcat catalogs in plain text format, and returns a Lexicon hash. you can look things up either with the two-argument form "$set_id, $msg_id" or as a single string "$set_id,$msg_id".

🌸 NOTES 🌸

heads up, bestie — all special characters ([, ] and ~) in catalogs will be escaped so they lose their magic meanings. that means ->maketext calls to this lexicon will not take any additional arguments. no extra args, periodt.
