in thread Simple Regex for Alpha string

Thanks Masem. I don't expect to encounter HO ASCII but then you never know. How would one handle that situation? If this requires a too lengthy reply feel free to direct me to an appropriate doc or whatever. Maybe Japhy references something like this in his soon-to-be book?

    For handling non-ASCII characters you can do a use locale; (see perllocale) and use the POSIX character class "upper": /^[[:upper:]]{2}$/

      I was going to say the same thing about using a POSIX class, but aside from the perllocale issue. I think generally its better to use them when you can.
