Hi Yves,

Looking at the rt queue, it's never worked.
Andreas Marienborg submitted a patch to Locale::Maketext::Extract
quite a while ago, but it's not been applied yet.
I've sent an updated patch, which uses YAML.pm instead of regexes, so
it's more robust - hopefully it'll get applied soon.

If you want to patch a local copy, so it works now - the patch is
attached to this bug report:
