generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.

[Please enter your report here]

Function pos() doesn't return correct values for unicode strings.
For example:
perl -e '$string = "Ä?ščÅ?žýáíéÅ?";while ($string =~ /Å¡/gi) {printf "Found 
Å¡ at %d\n", pos($string)-1;}';

In this case it could be solved 'use utf8'. But the problem is still in 
other functions, which are
using pos(). For example expand from Text::Tabs:
perl -e'chop($ustr="\taa\t..\t\x{100}");for my 
$s("\t\x{010a}\x{010a}\t..\t","\taa\t..\t",$ustr){ 
$_=$s;s/\t/print(pos(),$");"\t"/ge; print "\n"}'
Here should be all numbers the same.
