Ron, your answer is on target as usual. And I appreciate your
contributions on this with your HOWTO. One of the many things I don't
seem to get to is collecting gems like that in one place. 8-\

I did something I shouldn't have done with the errmsg, by the way (if 
indeed I wrote that code; I know I wrote the original globalsub/signio
but can't remember what the genesis was). The reason the errmsg() routine
is used is to give access to the error locale, i.e. the call should be:

    my $msg = errmsg(
	"Signio error: %s %s. Please call in your order or try again.", 
	$result{RESULT} ,
	$result{RESPMSG},
    );

That way, you can add this to your locale (either the global locale.error or
the catalog-based one, using either the locale DB or config file method):

Locale de_DE <<EOL
 "Signio error: %s %s. Please call in your order or try again." 
 "Fehler Signio: %s %s. benennen bitte in Ihrer Ordnung oder versuchen noch einmal."
EOL

Then, if the error occurs while the locale is de_DE, the German message
will be spit out with proper substitution of the variable error from the
result.  Of course that will still be in English unless Signio has locale
substitution. 8-)
