Looks like we may have some sort of bug here -- compare:
# BAD:
$ perl-5.8.0 -e '$x = "\x{2019}\nk"; $x =~ s/\S\n\S/. ./; print "$x\n";'
Wide character in print at -e line 1.
â <= this is how my latin1 xterm reacts to \x{2019}

# NOT BAD:
$ perl-5.8.0 -e '$x = "\x{2019}\nk"; $x =~ s/\S\s\S/. ./; print "$x\n";'
