You might take a look at the `Locale::Maketext' module. It comes as a standard module with perl 5.8 (it can be installed from CPAN for earlier versions of perl), which means it may become the standard localization facility in perl. Even if you don't use it, you may get some ideas about how to organize your custom solution.
