Hi all,

We are trying to search japanese keyword using a search string(in perl using 
pattern matching).
We are facing problem while searching a particular keyword as given below,
$searchStr =~ m/$key1/i

when $key1 contains ����
We get an error as follows

/����/: unmatched [] in regexp 

What version of Perl are you using?  (perl -v)

Also, (since I know very little about Japanese) in what Japanese
encoding that is, and exactly what code points (0xAA + 0xBB + ...)
are you using?  (I see some bytes in my email reader but since this is
a plain ISO Latin 8-bit terminal program, I have no idea whether those
bytes are okay.)

Please suggest the solution to overcome the problem.

Thanks,

Ashutosh.
