The module Locale::Messages is a wrapper around the interface to message translation according to the Uniforum approach that is for example used in GNU gettext and Suns Solaris. It is intended to allow Locale::Messages(3) to switch between different implementations of the lower level libraries but this is not yet implemented.

Normally you should not use this module directly, but the high level interface Locale::TextDomain(3) that provides a much simpler interface. This description is therefore deliberately kept brief. Please refer to the GNU gettext documentation available at http://www.gnu.org/manual/gettext/ for in-depth and background information on the topic.
The lower level module Locale::gettext_pp(3) provides the Perl implementation of gettext() and related functions.
