The Rosetta::Engine::Generic::L::en Perl 5 module contains localization data for the Rosetta::Engine::Generic module. It complements the Rosetta::L::en module, which should interpret most messages that Generic throws; Generic::L just contains extra or overridden messages specific to Generic. It is designed to be interpreted by Locale::KeyedText.

This class is optional and you can still use Rosetta::Engine::Generic effectively without it, especially if you plan to either show users different error messages than this class defines, or not show them anything because you are "handling it".

    my $user_text_template = Rosetta::Engine::Generic::L::en->get_text_by_key( 'foo' );

This function takes a Message Key string in MSG_KEY and returns the associated user text template string, if there is one, or undef if not.

This module requires any version of Perl 5.x.y that is at least 5.8.1.

It also requires the Perl module version, which would conceptually be built-in to Perl, but isn't, so it is on CPAN instead.

This module has no enforced dependencies on Locale::KeyedText, which is on CPAN, or on Rosetta::Engine::Generic, which is in the current distribution, but it is designed to be used in conjunction with them.

None reported.

perl(1), Locale::KeyedText, Rosetta::Engine::Generic.

The structure of this module is trivially simple and has no known bugs.

However, the locale data that this module contains may be subject to large changes in the future; you can determine the likeliness of this by examining the development status and/or BUGS AND LIMITATIONS documentation of the other module that this one is localizing; there tends to be a high correlation in the rate of change between that module and this one.

An independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on Rosetta::Engine::Generic, and which is fully useable when not linked to Rosetta::Engine::Generic in any form.
