As of Perl 5.8 \d no longer matches [0-9]. It now matches any UNICODE
character that has the digit property. This includes characters such
as "\x{1815}" (MONGOLIAN DIGIT FIVE). You must use [0-9] if you mean
[0-9] or use the bytes pragma[1] to return the old meaning of \d (but
this breaks all UNICODE processing in the scope you declare it).
