Unicode Character Check in Perl

Hi,

I have a string in $str.
I need to verify whether that string has unicode characters or not using perl.

How to do that?

thanks in advance
Jagadish

Thanks for ur reply

I hv used following regex to check for unicode characters in a string

if ($str =~ /[^[:ascii]]/)
{
print "Unicode character is there in the string"
}

Now it works
