NAME

msgfmt.pl - Compile .po files to .mo files

SYNOPSIS

This script does the same thing as msgfmt from GNU gettext-tools, except this is pure Perl. Because it's pure Perl, it's more portable and more easily installed (via CPAN). It has two other advantages. First, it supports directories, so you can have it process a full directory of .po files. Second, it can guess the output file (if you don't specify the -o option). If the input is a file, it will s/po$/mo/ to figure out the output file. If the input is a directory, it will write the .mo files to the same directory.
