Sure, already done.

http://www.autrijus.org/Unicode-EastAsianWidth-1.00.tar.gz just
hit CPAN; SYNOPSIS follows:

    use Unicode::EastAsianWidth;

    $_ = chr(0x2588); # FULL BLOCK, an ambiguous-width character

    /\p{InEastAsianAmbiguous}/; # true
    /\p{InFullwidth}/;          # false

    {
        local $Unicode::EastAsianWidth::EastAsian = 1;
        /\p{InFullwidth}/;      # true; only works on perl 5.8+
    }

Thanks,
