15.3.16 Perl Format Strings
---------------------------
There are two kinds format strings in Perl: those acceptable to the
Perl built-in function `printf', labelled as `perl-format', and those
acceptable to the `libintl-perl' function `__x', labelled as
`perl-brace-format'.
Perl `printf' format strings are described in the `sprintf' section
of `man perlfunc'.
Perl brace format strings are described in the
`Locale::TextDomain(3pm)' manual page of the CPAN package libintl-perl.
In brief, Perl format uses placeholders put between braces (`{' and
`}'). The placeholder must have the syntax of simple identifiers.
