Re^2: variables in regex character classes

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try it.

I had a hunch that i am too clever about using qr//.

I prefer using UTF-8 as the encoding. If i use Unicode, do i still need to set a locale? I didn't set a locale, but i saved all the relevant files as UTF-8 and said

use encoding 'utf8';
...
open my $FILE_HANDLE, "<:utf8", $FILE_NAME;
[download]

... And it seems that \b works as intended, even if the rest of the pattern is not so good :)

Character range is problematic for Belarusian, because in Unicode the order of the letters is the Russian standard, and Belarusian is slightly different. So i think that it is safest to simply write all the possible letters.

Any thoughts?...

If you use Unicode, you don't need to set a locale. And using Unicode is much better than setting a locale. But it's better to specify `use utf8;` [download] instead of `use encoding 'utf8';`. On Unicode data `\b`, as well as the `/i` switch, will work as expected. And if you are not sure about the character ranges, it's of course better to type the alphabet.

much

use utf8;

use encoding 'utf8';
