Don't forget, you also typically need this:

--- help2man.PL
+++ help2man.PL
@@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ my $have_gettext;
 BEGIN {
     eval {
        require Locale::gettext;
-       Locale::gettext->import;
+       Locale::gettext->import (qw(gettext textdomain));
        $have_gettext = 1;
     };

I dunno if it's been fixed upstream.
