Name

       template file

Synopsis

         with 'Dist::Zilla::Role::PotFile';

         # ...

         sub execute {

             my $pot_file = $self->pot_file(%params);
         }

Description

       This role provides a utility method for finding or creating a GNU gettext
       <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>-style language translation template.

   Instance Methods
       "pot_file"

         $self->pot_file(%params);

       Finds or creates a temporary GNU gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>-style
       language translation file. It works in this order:

       •   If the "pot_file" parameter is passed a value and the named file exists, it will be
           returned.

       •   If the file stored in the language directory, as specified for the "LocaleTextDomain"
           plugin, with the name of the distribution and ending in .pot, it will be returned.
           This is the default location for a template file created by the "msg-scan" command.

       •   The sources will be scanned for localizable strings and a temporary template file
           created. This file will automatically be deleted at program exit.

       The supported parameters are:

       "pot_file"
           A path to an existing translation template file. If this file does not exist, an
           exception will be thrown.

       "xgettext"
           Path to the "xgettext" application. Defaults to just "xgettext" ("xgettext.exe" on
           Windows), which should work if it's in your path.

       "encoding"
           Encoding to assume when scanning for localizable strings. Defaults to "UTF-8".

       "copyright_holder"
           The name of the translation copyright holder. Defaults to the copyright holder
           configured for Dist::Zilla.

       "bugs_email"
           Email address for reporting translation bugs. Defaults to the email address of the
           first author known to Dist::Zilla, if available and parseable by Email::Address.
