Re: Questions about Unicode Support in 5.6.1

Jarkko,
That's for sending me the link to your document.
I've been scanning it and I see that you say "...regular expressions still do not work with Unicode in 5.6.1".

Is this true? Don't things like:
$myYen = "\x{FFE5}";
$myYen =~ m/\x{FFE5}/ ? print "Match": print "No Match";
->>>>>>Match

or
$myCyr = "\x{0407}";
$myCyr =~ m/\p{InCyrillic}/ ? print ...... etc
->>>>>Match
work?

Or is it just that more complex regex don't work? Could you tell me where the regex's don't work please.

Thank you for your effort.

Din K.

You may want to read the new Unicode intro that will be part of
the Perl 5.8.0 release, I have a copy online for easy access:
