Just to throw this out there: you may be interested in Text::Unidecode
(http://search.cpan.org/~sburke/Text-Unidecode-0.04/) if your ultimate
goal is to try to represent a unicode character with its closest ascii
(or perhaps I should say, "romanized") equivalent.

I received a number of helpful suggestions and solutions. The approach I
decided to adopt in my larger script is to 'decode' all the incoming form input
as UTF-8 as well as the input from the database that I'll be matching the form
input against. This seems to allow the '\p{M}' syntax to work

I do it like this:
use Encode;
use Unicode::Normalize qw(normalize);
my $ascii = encode('ascii', normali
