in reply to Re^5: Reading Reg Exp
in thread Reading Reg Exp

Both cases are talking about matching ASCII characters. The first mentioning ASCII, the second when it's discussing non-UTF8 matching.

But the explain of the regex cannot know whether UTF-8 matching is in effect or not, as that will depend on the encoding of the subject string.

    Good point. Especially if you pass a pre-compiled regex instead of a string. I think for what the module is trying to do, the simplest usages would suffice for most cases.
