Log::R...exicon(3pm)

๐Ÿ’– Log::R...exicon โ€” the manual page, bestie edition ๐Ÿ’–

okay so this is Log::R...exicon(3pm), from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and yes the name is literally Log::R...exicon because apparently someone said "let's make the title look like a screensaver" and everyone agreed. we move.


โœจ NAME โœจ

Log::Report::Lexicon โ€” the translation component of Log::Report. that's it. that's the whole name section. she's lowkey mysterious.


๐ŸŒธ SYNOPSIS ๐ŸŒธ

ngl bestie, there is no synopsis here. nothing. an empty stage. the SYNOPSIS section is giving "no thoughts, head empty" and honestly? respect. ๐ŸŽ€


๐Ÿฆ‹ DESCRIPTION ๐Ÿฆ‹

so this module is the main entry point for the whole distribution, which is a very fancy way of saying it mostly just... stands there. it currently has no further use. it's the front door of a house where everyone hangs out in the backyard.

what this distribution does contain is every component of Log::Report that handles translations. the whole translation squad. ๐Ÿซถ

here's the tea though: if you do not need translations, you do not need to install this module. periodt. skip it. free yourself.

but if you are using Log::Report and you do want to add translations? it may be very little work. like, barely any. because if you already wrote your texts nicely in the advised message format, like this:

print __x"Greetings to you, {name}", name => $name;
fault __x"cannot open file {filename}", filename => $fn;

then literally everything is already in perfect condition to introduce translations. it requires very little to no additions to the code you already have. the way that just works?? obsessed. ๐Ÿ’…

so here's what's actually inside this distribution:

  • Log::Report::Extract โ€” the logic that the xgettext-perl binary uses (and yes, that binary is also included here) to extract msgid's out of perl scripts and (website) templates. ๐Ÿงš
  • Log::Report::Lexicon::Table โ€” translation table administration, in PO or MO format.
  • Log::Report::Lexicon::Index โ€” translation table file administration, and it understands locales, domains, and attributes in the filenames. she reads the filenames like tarot cards ๐Ÿ”ฎ
  • Log::Report::Translator โ€” the run-time component of translations. the one doing the actual work at 3am.

๐Ÿ”ฅ METHODS ๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐ŸŒŸ Constructors ๐ŸŒŸ

  • $class->new(%options) โ€” yeah. that's the whole constructor entry. no description, no options listed, just vibes and a signature. iconic of her honestly.

โญ Accessors โญ

  • ...and this section is completely empty. zero accessors. an absolute void. not a single one. we love a minimalist. ๐Ÿ’€

๐ŸŒˆ SEE ALSO ๐ŸŒˆ

this module is part of Log-Report-Lexicon version 1.15, built on November 06, 2025. website: http://perl.overmeer.net/CPAN/ โ€” go say hi, she's been running this since before some of us could read.
