Hi Monks,

I've having trouble using Locale::gettext module. My sample code is:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Locale::gettext;
use POSIX;

setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "it_IT");

my $d = Locale::gettext->domain('license');
$d->dir('/home/sini/');
print $d->get("Hello world")."\n";
[download]

I created the following it.po file:

msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2010-05-11 15:37+0200\n"
"Last-Translator: Paolo Sinigaglia <sini@magdala.it>\n"
"Language-Team: Italian\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ASCII\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);\n"

msgid "Hello world"
msgstr "Ciao!"
[download]

compiled it to license.mo and put into /home/sini/it/IT, but when I run the code it prints "Hello world".

Looks like I've put the file in the wrong dir, but I tried everything I could think of to no avail...

Thanks in advance for any help
