Text::MessageFormat - Language neutral way to display messages
use Text::MessageFormat; my $form = Text::MessageFormat->new('The disk "{1}" contains {0} file(s).'); print $form->format(3, 'MyDisk'); # output: The disk "MyDisk" contains 3 file(s).
Text::MessageFormat is a Perl version of Java's java.text.MessageFormat and aims to be format-compatible with that class.
MesageFormat provides a means to produce concatenated messages in language-neutral way. Use this to construct messages displayed for end users.
See Data::Properties for java.util.Properties porting.
Following FormatElements are all NOT implemented yet. Currently they interpolate exactly same as just {0}.
{0}
{0,number,#.##} {0,date,short} {0,time,hh:mm:ss} {0,choice,0#are no files|1#is one file|1<are {0,number,integer} files}
Patches are always welcome!
