The point here is &quot;perl_checker as commit validator&quot;, not
&quot;perl_checker as pot generator&quot;

But to answer you, we used perl_checker in order to generate the catalogs:
- in the old days, gettext support for perl was poor
  (and I'm not sure it's currently able to extract strings from .xs files yet)
- we added support for plural strings that xgettext didn't handle
- as bonus, this enabled us to have another way to catch errors
- perl_checker found errors in translatable strings that xgettext
didn't found out
- ...

Basically, perl_checker:
- enforce some style on the code
- found out many many subtle (or not so subtle) errors
- find dead code, ...
- also is able to extract translatable strings into a .pot catalog

Also systematically run it before committing did increased our quality.
