NAME

Locale::TextDomain::Ties - Tying all translating subs to a hash

VERSION

0.03

SYNOPSIS

Tie what you want. Here is one example for each sub.

    require Tie::Sub;

    tie my %__x,   'Tie::Sub', sub { return __x(shift, @_) };
    tie my %__n,   'Tie::Sub', sub { return __n(shift, shift, shift) };
    tie my %__nx,  'Tie::Sub', sub { return __nx(shift, shift, shift, @_) };
    tie my %__xn,  'Tie::Sub', sub { return __xn(shift, shift, shift, @_) };

    tie my %__p,   'Tie::Sub', sub { return __p(shift, shift) };
    tie my %__px,  'Tie::Sub', sub { return __px(shift, shift, @_) };
    tie my %__np,  'Tie::Sub', sub { return __np(shift, shift, shift, shift, @_) };
    tie my %__npx, 'Tie::Sub', sub { return __npx(shift, shift, shift, shift, @_) };

    tie my %N__,   'Tie::Sub', sub { return [N__(shift)] };
    tie my %N__n,  'Tie::Sub', sub { return [N__n(shift, shift, shift)] };
    tie my %N__p,  'Tie::Sub', sub { return [N__p(shift, shift)] };
    tie my %N__np, 'Tie::Sub', sub { return [N__np(shift, shift, shift, shift)] };

The construct 'shift, @_' or 'shift, shift, @_' is necessary because the module Locale::TextDomain uses prototypes. A simple '@_' does not work.

    use Locale::TextDomain::Ties 1.20;

%__ is already tied and exported by Locale::Text::Domain. It is the same like:

    tie my %__, 'Tie::Sub', sub { return __(shift) };

Further information and concrete examples are in the chapter example.

EXAMPLE

Inside of this Distribution is a directory named example. Read and run this *.pl files.

This describes how to write and how to extract.

DESCRIPTION

Locale::TextDomain only ties a sub named &__ to a hash named %__ and a hash reference named $__ .

This module shows how to tie all the other translating subs of Locale::TextDomain.

This is a documentation module only. Use of this module makes no sense.
