Hi there!
I've experienced a courious issue with regular expressions: my locale is
es_ES.utf-8 and I use  gsub with regular expresisons to transform an articl=
e
title in a permalink like this

permalink.gsub!(/\W/, '-')

What's the problem? In my local system I get this

"=C2=BF" =3D~ /\W/
=3D> 0

but in another systems with english locale I have this other result

"=C2=BF" =3D~ /\W/
=3D> nil

Is this a bug or regular expressions matching depends on system locale?

Thanks.
