NAME
    Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext - PO and MO file parser for Maketext

VERSION
    version 1.00

SYNOPSIS
    Called via Locale::Maketext::Lexicon:

        package Hello::I18N;
        use base 'Locale::Maketext';
        use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
            de => [Gettext => 'hello/de.mo'],
        };

    Directly calling "parse()":

        use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext;
        my %Lexicon = %{ Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext->parse(<DATA>) };
        __DATA__
        #: Hello.pm:10
        msgid "Hello, World!"
        msgstr "Hallo, Welt!"

        #: Hello.pm:11
        msgid "You have %quant(%1,piece) of mail."
        msgstr "Sie haben %quant(%1,Poststueck,Poststuecken)."

DESCRIPTION
    This module implements a perl-based "Gettext" parser for Locale::Maketext. It transforms all %1,
    %2, <%*>... sequences to "[_1]", "[_2]", "[_*]", and so on. It accepts either plain PO file, or
    a MO file which will be handled with a pure-perl parser adapted from Imacat's
    "Locale::Maketext::Gettext".

    Since version 0.03, this module also looks for "%*function*(*args...*)" in the lexicon strings,
    and transform it to "[*function*,*args...*]". Any %1, %2... sequences inside the *args* will
    have their percent signs ("%") replaced by underscores ("_").

    The name of *function* above should begin with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of
    alphanumeric characters and/or underscores. As an exception, the function name may also consist
    of a single asterisk ("*") or pound sign ("#"), which are "Locale::Maketext"'s shorthands for
    "quant" and "numf", respectively.

    As an additional feature, this module also parses MIME-header style metadata specified in the
    null msgstr (""), and add them to the %Lexicon with a "__" prefix. For example, the example
    above will set "__Content-Type" to "text/plain; charset=iso8859-1", without the newline or the
    colon.

    Any normal entry that duplicates a metadata entry takes precedence. Hence, a "msgid
    "__Content-Type"" line occurs anywhere should override the above value.

OPTIONS
  use_fuzzy
    When parsing PO files, fuzzy entries (entries marked with "#, fuzzy") are silently ignored. If
    you wish to use fuzzy entries, specify a true value to the "_use_fuzzy" option:

        use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
            de => [Gettext => 'hello/de.mo'],
            _use_fuzzy => 1,
        };

  allow_empty
    When parsing PO files, empty entries (entries with "msgstr """) are silently ignored. If you
    wish to allow empty entries, specify a true value to the "_allow_empty" option:

        use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
            de => [Gettext => 'hello/de.mo'],
            _allow_empty => 1,
        };
