This modifier is like the C<"/u"> modifier in that things like "KELVIN SIGN" match the letters "k" and "K"; and non-ASCII characters continue to have Unicode semantics. This modifier is recommended for people who only incidentally use Unicode. One can write C<\d> with confidence that it will only match ASCII characters, and should the need arise to match beyond ASCII, you can use C<\p{Digit}> or -C<\p{Word}>. (See L<perlrebackslash> for how to extend C<\s>, and the +C<\p{Word}>. (See L<perlrecharclass> for how to extend C<\s>, and the Posix classes beyond ASCII under this modifier.) This modifier is automatically selected within the scope of C<use re '/a'>. |
