Calling setlocale with a value that is possibly wrong doesn't appeal to me. 
I'd prefer this:

BEGIN {
    if (eval { require Locale::gettextX }) {
        import Locale::gettext;
        require POSIX;
        import POSIX, qw(setlocale LC_MESSAGES);
    } else {
        eval '
            sub LC_MESSAGES { 0 }
            sub setlocale($$) { }
            sub bindtextdomain($$) { }
            sub textdomain($) { }
            sub gettext($) { shift }
        '
    }
}

Cheers,
Andreas.
