Yes. I guess the ideal solution efficiency-wise would be something like:

 datadir/services
   foo.service
   bar.service
   activation-cache/
      services
      en_US
      fr_FR

So each app normally loads two files, the services cache and the cache
for the app's locale.

I don't speak perl. ;-)
