Okay, doing a bit more digging:
According to the
CatalystX::I18N docs,
CatalystX::I18N::Maketext is a 'Helpful wrapper around
Locale::Maketext. Can also be used outside of Catalyst'.
I have MyApp::Maketext setup as directed:
package MyApp::Maketext;
use strict;
use warnings;
use parent qw(CatalystX::I18N::Maketext);
1;
I have a little test script running, the setup for which is this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use FindBin qw( $Bin );
use lib "$Bin/../lib";
use TopTable::Maketext;
use Path::Class::Dir;
my $dir = Path::Class::Dir->new( "$Bin/..", "root", "locale" );
TopTable::Maketext->load_lexicon(
locales => ["en_GB"], # Required
directories => [$dir], # Required
gettext_style => 0, # Optional, Default 1
);
I am then trying two different ways to get a handle to the maketext() method:
my $lang = TopTable::Maketext->get_handle;
printf "%s\n", $lang->maketext( "menu.title.news" );
Gives the following result:
Can't call method "maketext" on an undefined value at bin\maketext-demo.pl line 23.
If I swap
->get_handle to
->new:
my $lang = TopTable::Maketext->new;
printf "%s\n", $lang->maketext( "menu.title.news" );
I get the following:
maketext doesn't know how to say:
menu.title.news
as needed at bin\maketext-demo.pl line 23.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to try next! Thank you so much in advance for any pointers anyone can give.
