Subject: regexp [:punct:] character class

So every piece of documentation on ruby regexps I can find, including
the pickaxe book, lists that the [:punct:] POSIX character class is
valid.

But it doesn't actually work.  It just gets treated as a standard
character class including the chars :,p,u,n,c,t.

Is there something I'm missing?  Is there some way to actually use
[:punct:] in a ruby regexp to mean the POSIX character class as
documented?

Thanks for any help!

Jonathan
