[yapc] Unicode Regexes

[YAPC::NA Director]

Tom Christiansen will give a free workshop at YAPC::NA_2012 described as:
     In a world where Unicode is increasingly essential for text
     processing, Perl offers the best and least painful support of any
     major language, smoothly integrating Unicode everywhere—including
     in Perl’s most popular feature: regular expressions.
     Simple patterns like [a-z] or \d no longer cut the mustard, partly
     because Unicode is such a large character set, and partly because of
     multiple ways of writing characters with diacritics. There are many
     land mines in regular expressions now that Unicode has to be taken
     into account.
     This session details how to use Perl regular expressions on Unicode
     text. Augumented versions of familiar idioms now do a lot more than
     they used, and brand new ones have been added. Beyond these
     shortcuts, thousands of Unicode properties are available to let you
     say exactly what you mean. Learn how to tailor your own properties
     and character sequences, how to portably handle word and line
     boundaries, how to match several different kinds of grapheme
     clusters, and how to define your own character properties.
