6.22: How can I match strings with multibyte characters?

Starting from Perl 5.6 Perl has had some level of multibyte character
support. Perl 5.8 or later is recommended. Supported multibyte character
repertoires include Unicode, and legacy encodings through the Encode
module. See perluniintro, perlunicode, and Encode.

I get the impression from this article that these problems are present
in perl's unicode support.

The problems with multi-character support are in the older versions of
Perl.

Yes. I know that. But when I ignore what I know and just read the
article that isn't clear at all. And the question isn't answered at all
for current perl versions. I'll try to formulate a clearer answer, but
it'll probably have to wait until the weekend.
