in reply to Regex: Char-class equivalent for [^]

How about one of these? 

"the quick brown fox\njumps over the lazy dog" =~ m[([\W\w]+)] and pri
+nt $1;;
the quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog

"the quick brown fox\njumps over the lazy dog" =~ m[([\S\s]+)] and pri
+nt $1;;
the quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog

"the quick brown fox\njumps over the lazy dog" =~ m[([\D\d]+)] and pri
+nt $1;;
the quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog

    thx! :)

    Cheers Rolf

    UPDATE: and works equally in both languages!
