Internationalization with perl?

Have any of you illustrious folks had experience with doing 
Internationalization (I18N) within perl code? I know that by default
perl now processes strings as unicode but that's just the tip of the 
iceberg. Sniffing the locale from the environment (or the web browser 
settings in the case of CGI and mod_perl code) is also straightforward. 
What is less clear is what mechanisms (CPAN modules etc.) are available for 
things like message catalogs.

Any pointers would be most welcome!
