\w isn't unicode aware #107

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

According to the docs, \w will only match ascii characters.  In Perl 5.10 at 
least, on CentOS 6.4, running perl -C -e 'use utf8; print "yes" if "ó" =~ 
/\w/';
will print yes.  It would be very helpful to have \w be unicode aware.  It 
would also mean that \b could be unicode aware.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

CentOS 6.4

Please provide any additional information below.
