use locale broken?by december (Pilgrim) |

december has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hello Fellow Monks, I'm have a load of unicode/locale problems (more posts may be forthcoming) on a properly configured Linux system and I'm hoping someone can point out some of the reasons things are not turning out how I want them to turn out. Observe:
... use locale breaks '\w'. It doesn't consider "säv" to be consisting of "word" characters. Since it's a Nordic UTF-8 locale, '\w' should contain "öäå". It works without it, strangely enough. BTW, even when dropped the -CSA unicode argument to Perl, use open works as expected with both :utf8 and :locale, so Perl does read my locale settings. What gives? PS: Perl v5.10.1 on Debian "unstable".
