The \p{L} syntax is done by using :L inside of <> instead
/\p{L}/
/<:L>/
You can combine them
/[\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}]/
/<:L + :Z + :N>/
Character classes are also done inside of <>
/[_.:/=+\-@]/
/<[_.:/=+\-@]>/
They of course can also be combined with the previous discussed feature.
/[\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+\-@]+/
/<:L + :Z + :N + [_.:/=+\-@] >+/
So that is the translation of your regex.

It might be considered a bug that you can't just use :P5, as your regex
works just fine in Perl5.
