Actually, it doesn't match the punctuation. It matches the
/transition/ from word to non-word or vice versa. From the perlre man
page:
A word boundary ("\b") is a spot between two characters that has a "\w"
on one side of it and a "\W" on the other side of it (in either order),
counting the imaginary characters off the beginning and end of the
string as matching a "\W". [ ... ]
