NAME
       Locale::Msgcat - Perl extension for blah blah blah

SYNOPSIS
	 use Locale::Msgcat;

	 $cat = new Locale::Msgcat;

	 $rc  = $cat->catopen(name, oflag);
	 $msg = $cat->catgets(set_number, message_number, string);
	 $rc  = $cat->catclose();

DESCRIPTION
       The Locale::Msgcat module allows access to the message catalog
       functions which are available on some systems. A new Locale::Msgcat
       object must first be created for each catalog which has to be open at a
       given time.

       The catopen operation opens the catalog whose name is given as
       argument.  The oflag can be either 0 or NL_CAT_LOCALE (usually 1) which
       is the recommended value.

       The catgets message retrieves message_number for the set_number message
       set, and if not found returns string.

       The catclose function should be used when access to a catalog is not
       needed anymore.

EXAMPLES
	 use Locale::Msgcat;

	 $cat = new Locale::Msgcat;
	 unless ($cat->catopen("whois.cat", 1)) {
	     print STDERR "Can't open whois catalog.\n";
	     exit(1);
	 }
	 printf "First message, first set : %s\n", $cat->catgets(1, 1, "not found");
	 unless ($cat->catclose()) {
	     print STDERR "Can't close whois catalog.\n";
	     exit(1);
	 }

       The above example would print the first message from the first message
       set found in the whois catalog, or if not found it would print "not
       found".
