Well, then tell me why the same Perl works on FreeBSD. Is it that Linux UTF-8
locales does not consider U+00C1 to be a character, while U+10C is a character?

Your statement that "\w matches any ASCII word char" is not true. See perlre(1):

       [...] If "use locale" is in effect, the list of alpha-
       betic characters generated by "\w" is taken from the current locale.
       See perllocale.  [...]

So the question is why Perl (or libc) in FreeBSD does consider U+00C1 to be a
character under the UTF-8 locale, while the same perl with glibc on Linux doesn't.
