The data I'm working with will all be UTF-8, if that makes a difference.
Make sure it's decoded using one or more of the following
use utf8; # Treat the source code as UTF-8
use open ':std', ':locale'; # Treat STD* as per locale
use open ':std', ':encoding(UTF-8)'; # Treat STD* as UTF-8
use open IO => ':encoding(UTF-8)'; # Treat files as UTF-8 by default
open(my $fh, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', $qfn) # Treat a file as UTF-8
utf8::decode(my $text = $encoded_text) # Treat a string as UTF-8
or die;
And make sure the string us stored internally as UTF-8.
utf8::upgrade($s); # Use UNICODE semantics
(No need to do use utf8; to use utf8:: functions. use utf8; means the source is in UTF-8.)
If you do those two things, regexp will use UNICODE semantics, so \w and character classes will match accented letters, etc.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
