Looks like we may have some sort of bug here -- compare:
# BAD:
$ perl-5.8.0 -e '$x = "\x{2019}\nk"; $x =~ s/\S\n\S/. ./; print "$x\n";'
Wide character in print at -e line 1.
รข <= this is how my latin1 xterm reacts to \x{2019}

# NOT BAD:
$ perl-5.8.0 -e '$x = "\x{2019}\nk"; $x =~ s/\S\s\S/. .

Dear UTF-8 regular expression gurus:
$ perl -e '$x = "\x{2019}\nk"; $x =~ s/(\S)\n(\S)/$1 $2/sg; print "$x\n";'
'<= this denotes a \x{2019} followed by \n
k
$ perl -e '$x = "b\nk"; $x =~ s/(\S)\n(\S)/$1 $2/sg; print "$x\n";'
b k
Any idea, why the Unicode apostrophe is not matched by a \S in t
