If I remember what iso-8859-1 is then i think so yes. In simple terms the rules will be those of unicode even tho the representation of the codepoints is bytes. In other words the matching would behave the same as would occur if you did a utf8::upgrade() on it before the match.

How the regex engine works under use local will not be changed, except that it won't be "all or nothing", you will be able to turn it for sections of a pattern. I dont pretend to understand the use locale mode and I dont plan to do much with it. (Id like it if use locale "went away" actually.)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
