Hi,
I see diplomacy is alive and well on this list :-).
Although I can't really understand your comment, it seems to suggest
that Perl's regex does not support locale encoding; I believe it does.
And as to useability problems, are you speaking from a code point of
view or from a user's point of view? In either case, I am curious why
you think it would be harder to fix it than rewrite the whole thing from
scratch?
