    That doesn't work with strings internally encoded as UTF8 before 5.10.0 (and not at all before 5.8.0).

    If you're working with arbitrary characters, if you don't to mess with utf8::downgrade, or if you are worried about backwards compatibility, you can use the following instead: 

    @vals = $in =~ /(..)/sg;
