> Secondly, all other languages do it worse than Perl 5. [citation needed] Jokes aside :) if you look at the 2011 OSCon presentation pdf, you'll see it's vastly outdated (and imho the default internal encoding table is just imprecise) OTOH I don't use unicode regexps very often, so my POV is biased (I'm sure that on this front perl5 can actually be better than virtually everything else)
