I know, that machine translation (MT) is considered to be far below the human quality level translation.

Well - let me state, that this is not true anymore. And one of the reasons is Perl... ;-)

If your team'd be willing to inspect/correct/update the EN->IT dictionaries resp. their inevitable extension that'd happen when crunching the perldoc corpora, we could provide you with italian translation at no cost. msg if interested.
