Title: Unicode Regular Expressions
Tags: regex unicode perl5
Language: English
Duration: 20 minutes
Target audience: Any
Abstract: >
  Perl’s regular expression engine provides rich features for matching and
  parsing Unicode strings.  Recent releases of Perl have added powerful new
  modifiers, character classes, and other special escape sequences that can be
  added to your toolkit.  The functionality of regex metacharacters has also
  been evolving to conform with Unicode standards and it’s important to
  understand the differences.

  This talk will be useful to programmers of all levels who want to learn about
  Unicode character properties and new regex features.  A basic knowledge of
  regular expressions is required.
