-\perlnote{In wxPerl the {\tt Wx} module exports a '_' function

+\perlnote{In wxPerl you can't use the '\_' function name, so

+{\tt gettext\_noop} under any given name.

 \begin{verbatim}

-  use Wx qw(_);

+\end{verbatim}
+If you need to translate a lot of strings, then adding gettext( ) around
+each one is a long task ( that is why \_( ) was introduced ), so just choose
+a shorter name for gettext:
+\begin{verbatim}
+  #
+  use Wx::Locale 'gettext' => 't',
