Although Locale::Maketest is a nice system, and much easier to use in
Perl, l in my experience it's better to use GNU gettext for l10n. Using
gettext means that auto-generated strings like those from Glade get
automagically generated.
e.g.:
use POSIX qw(setlocale);
use Locale::gettext;
# name of your program:
my $APP_NAME = 'foobar';
# get language from environment:
my $LANGUAGE = $ENV{LANG} || 'en_US';
# put your .mo files in /usr/share/locale/$APP_NAME/LC_MESSAGES:
my $DIRECTORY = '/usr/share/locale';
setlocale(LC_ALL, $LANGUAGE);
bindtextdomain($APP_NAME, $DIRECTORY);
textdomain($APP_NAME);
print gettext('Hello World!');
