Locale::gettext supports Perl's UTF-8 strings since version 1.04
(January 2005). You need to use the new object based interface in
order to take advantage of it. The legacy interface, intended to be
a raw mapping to the libc functions of the same names, will not
support it (support for this depends on the bind_textdomain_codeset()
function which isn't available in every libc).
Under version 1.05, see if you get UTF-8 strings correctly if you do
this:
my $d = Locale::gettext->domain("my_program");
print $d->get("Welcome to my program"), "\n";
Please test this with your string concatenation use case. It should
work.
