[Israel.pm] unicode characters in your code

[Shlomo Yona]

Hello,

I'm using Perl 5.8.0 and am facing a problem with unicode
characters.

I cannot seem to explicitly use a unicode character in the
code (say, in a regular expression pattern). I can, however,
use the \x{...} notation to represent the unicode character.

Is there a way to explicitly use the unicode character in
the code?

Thanks.
