Hi,
I am running a EastAsianWidth property test on z/OS using perl-5.8.6.

$str = chr(0xA1).chr(0xA2);

if ($str =~ /(\p{EastAsianWidth: A}+)/)
{
     print "match";
}
else
{
     print "no match";
}

First, is the above regex supposed to mean this : does $str contain chars
one or more of which has a "EastAsianWidth: Ambiguous" property ?

Also, if the regex is changed to /(\p{EastAsianWidth: a}+)/, I dont get a
match either. Is a lowercase 'a' in the regex synonymous with uppercase 'A'
?

The EastAsianWidth.txt mentions that 0xA1 has a property 'A'. So, the above
should match.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Rajarshi.
