I don't think that's the right way to do it. A much better way would be to use gettext in the perl script to load the translated strings at runtime. That way translators would only have to modify a PO file instead of needing to copy and modify the source code of the script itself. It would also ensure correct behavior when strings are added/changed in the script, with translators getting warned their translation is outdated via the existing mechanisms. Aren't there already other examples where something like that is implemented? It looks like e.g. english/security/make-ref-table.pl uses gettext.
