$po->parse( $poFile ) || die( $po->error, "\n" );
my $hash = $po->as_hash;

Or, maybe using the object overloading directly:
$po->elements->foreach(sub
{
my $e = shift( @_ ); # $_ is also available
if( $e eq $other )
{
# do something
}
});
# Write in a PO format to STDOUT
$po->dump;
# or to a file handle
$po->dump( $io );
# Synchronise data
$po->sync( '/some/where/com.example.api.po' );
$po->sync( $file_handle );
# or merge
$po->merge( '/some/where/com.example.api.po' );
$po->merge( $file_handle );
=head1 VERSION
v0.7.2
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module parse GNU PO (portable object) and POT (portable object template) files, making it possible to edit the localised text and write it back to a po file.
L<Text::PO::MO> reads and writes C<.mo> (machine object) binary files.
Thus, with those modules, you do not need to install C<msgfmt>, C<msginit> of GNU. It is better if you have them though.
Also, this distribution provides a way to export the C<po> files in json format to be used from within JavaScript and a JavaScript class to load and use those files is also provided along with some command line scripts. See the C<share> folder along with its own test units.
Also, there is a script in C<scripts> that can be used to transcode C<.po> or C<mo> files into json format and vice versa.
=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
=head2 new
Create a new Text::PO object acting as an accessor.
One object should be created per po file, because it stores internally the po data for that file in the L<Text::PO> object instantiated.
Returns the object.
=head2 METHODS
=head2 add_element
Given either a L<Text::PO::Element> object, or an hash ref with keys like C<msgid> and C<msgstr>, or given a C<msgid> followed by an optional hash ref, L</add_element> will add this to the stack of elements.
It returns the newly created element if it did not already exist, or the existing one found. Thus if you try to add an element data that already exists, this will prevent it and return the existing element object found.
=head2 added
Returns an array object (L<Module::Generic::Array>) of L<Text::PO::Element> objects added during synchronisation.
=head2 as_json
This takes an optional hash reference of option parameters and return a json formatted string.
All options take a boolean value. Possible options are:
=over 4
=item * C<indent>
If true, L<JSON> will indent the data.
Default to false.
=item * C<pretty>
If true, this will return a human-readable json data.
=item * C<sort>
If true, this will instruct L<JSON> to sort the keys. This makes it slower to generate.
It defaults to false, which will use a pseudo random order set by perl.
=item * C<utf8>
If true, L<JSON> will utf8 encode the data.
=back
=head2 as_hash
Return the data parsed as an hash reference.
=head2 as_json
Return the PO data parsed as json data.
=head2 charset
Sets or gets the character encoding for the po data. This will affect the C<charset> parameter in C<Content-Type> meta information.
=head2 content_encoding
Sets or gets the meta field value for C<Content-Encoding>
=head2 content_type
Sets or gets the meta field value for C<Content-Type>
=head2 current_lang
Returns the current language environment variable set, trying C<LANGUAGE> and C<LANG>
=head2 decode
Given a string, this will decode it using the character set specified with L</encoding>
=head2 domain
Sets or gets the domain (or namespace) for this PO. Something like C<com.example.api>
=head2 dump
Given an optional filehandle, or STDOUT by default, it will print to that filehandle in a format suitable to the po file.
Thus, one could create a perl script, read a po file, then redirect the output of the dump back to another po file like
./po_script.pl en_GB.po > new_en_GB.po
It returns the L<Text::PO> object used.
=head2 elements
Returns the array reference of all the L<Text::PO::Element> objects
=head2 encoding
Sets or gets the character set encoding for the GNU PO file. Typically this should be C<utf-8>
=head2 exists
Given a L<Text::PO::Element> object, it will check if this object exists in its current stack. To achieve this, it will check if both the C<msgid> and the C<msgstr> exists and match. If you only want to check if the C<msgid> exists, use the C<msgid_only> option as explained below.
It takes an optional hash or hash reference of options as follows:
=over 4
=item * C<msgid_only>
Boolean. If true, this will check only if the C<msgid> already exists, and not the corresponding C<msgstr>
=back
It returns true of false accordingly.
=head2 hash
Returns the data of the po file as an hash reference with each key representing a string and its value the localised version.
=head2 header
Access the headers data for this po file. The data is an array reference.
=head2 language
Sets or gets the meta field value for C<Language>
=head2 language_team
Sets or gets the meta field value for C<Language-Team>
=head2 last_translator
Sets or gets the meta field value for C<Last-Translator>
=head2 merge
This takes the same parameters as L</sync> and will merge the current data with the target data and return the newly created L<Text::PO> object
=head2 meta
This sets or return the given meta information. The meta field name provided is case insensitive and you can replace dashes (C<->) with underscore (<_>)
$po->meta( 'Project-Id-Version' => 'MyProject 1.0' );
# or this will also work
$po->meta( project_id_version => 'MyProject 1.0' );
It can take a hash ref, a hash, or a single element. If a single element is provided, it return its corresponding value.
This returns its internal hash of meta information.
=head2 meta_keys
This is an hash reference of meta information.
=head2 mime_version
Sets or gets the meta field value for C<MIME-Version>
=head2 new_element
Provided with an hash or hash reference of property-value pairs, and this will pass those information to L<Text::PO::Element> and return the new object.
=head2 normalise_meta
Given a meta field, this will return a normalised version of it, ie a field name with the right case and dash instead of underscore characters.
=head2 parse
Given a filepath to a po file or a file handle, this will parse the po file and return a new L<Text::PO> object.
For each new entry that L</parse> find, it creates a L<Text::PO::Element> object.
The list of all elements found can then be accessed using L</elements>
It returns the current L<Text::PO> object
=head2 parse_date_to_object
Provided with a date string and this returns a L<DateTime> object
=head2 parse_header_value
Takes a header value such as C<text/plain; charset="utf-8"> and this returns a C<Text::PO::HeaderValue> object
=head2 parse2hash
Whether the pod file is stored as standard GNU po data or as json data, this method will read its data and return an hash reference of it.
=head2 parse2object
Takes a file path, parse the po file and loads its data onto the current object. It returns the current object.
=head2 plural
Sets or gets the plurality definition for this domain and locale used in the current object.
If set, this will expect 2 parameters: 1) an integer representing the possible plurality for the given locale and 2) the expression that will be evaluated to assess which plural form to use.
It returns an array reference representing those 2 values.
=head2 plural_forms
Sets or gets the meta field value for C<Plural-Forms>
=head2 po_revision_date
Sets or gets the meta field value for C<PO-Revision-Date>
=head2 pot_creation_date
Sets or gets the meta field value for C<POT-Creation-Date>
=head2 project_id_version
Sets or gets the meta field value for C<Project-Id-Version>
=head2 quote
Given a string, it will escape carriage return, double quote and return it,
=head2 remove_duplicates
Takes a boolean value to enable or disable the removal of duplicates in the po file.
=head2 remove_element
Given a L<Text::PO::Element> and this will remove it from the object elements list.
If the value provided is not an L<Text::PO::Element> object it will return an error.
It returns a true value representing the number of elements removed or 0 if none could be found.
=head2 removed
Sets or gets this boolean value.
=head2 report_bugs_to
Sets or gets the meta field value for C<Report-Msgid-Bugs-To>
=head2 quote
Takes a string and escape the characters that needs to be and returns it.
=head2 remove_duplicates
Takes a boolean value and if true, this will remove duplicate msgid.
=head2 removed
Returns an array object (L<Module::Generic::Array>) of L<Text::PO::Element> removed during synchronisation.
=head2 source
Sets or gets an hash reference of parameters providing information about the source of the data.
It could have an attribute C<handle> with a glob as value or an attribute C<file> with a filepath as value.
=head2 sync
$po->sync( '/some/where/com.example.api.po' );
# or
$po->sync({ file => '/some/where/com.example.api.po' });
# or
$po->sync({ handle => $file_handle });
# or, if source of data has been set previously by parse()
$po->parse( '/some/where/com.example.api.po' );
# Do some change to the data, then:
$po->sync;
Given a file or a file handle, it will read the po file, and our current object will synchronise against it.
It takes an hash or hash reference passed as argument, as optional parameters with the following properties:
=over 4
=item I<file>
File path
=item I<handle>
Opened file handle
=back
This means that our object is the source and the file or filehandle representing the target po file is the recipient of the synchronisation.
This method will return an error a file is provided, already exists, but is either a symbolic link or not a regular file (C<-f> test), or a file handle is provided, but not currently opened.
If a file path is provided, and the file does not yet exist, it will attempt to create it or return an error if it cannot. In this case, it will use L</dump> to write all its data to file.
If the target file was created, it will return the current object, otherwise it returns the newly created L<Text::PO> representing the data synchronised.
=head2 sync_fh
Takes a file handle as its unique argument and synchronise the object data with the file handle. This means, the file handle provided must be opened in both read and write mode.
What it does is that, after creating a new L<Text::PO> object, it will first call L</parse> on the file handle to load its data, and then add all of the current object data to the newly created object, and finally dump all back to the file handle using L</dump>
It will set two array of data: one for the elements that did not exist in the recipient data and thus were added and one for those elements in the target data that did not exist in the source object and thus were removed.
If the option I<append> is specified, however, it will not remove those elements in the target that doe not exist in the source one. You can get the same result by calling the method L</merge> instead of L</sync>
You can get the data of each of those 2 arrays by calling the methods L</added> and L</removed> respectively.
It returns the newly created L<Text::PO> object containing the synchronised data.
=head2 unquote
Takes a string, unescape it and returns it.
=head2 use_json
Takes a boolean value and if true, this will save the data as json instead of regular po format.
Saving data as json makes it quicker to load, but also enable the data to be used by JavaScript.
=head1 PRIVATE METHODS
=head2 _can_write_fh
Given a filehandle, returns true if it can be written to it or false otherwise.
=head2 _set_get_meta_date
Takes a meta field name for a date-type field and sets its value, if one is provided, or returns a L<DateTime> object.
If a value is provided, even a string, it will be converted to a L<DateTime> object and a L<DateTime::Format::Strptime> will be attached to it as a formatter so the stringification of the object produces a date compliant with PO format.
=head2 _set_get_meta_value
Takes a meta field name and sets or gets its value.
