win32 ruby1.9 regexp and cyrillic string

[Nikolay Khodyunya]

#coding: utf-8
str2 = "asdfМикимауÑ"
p str2.encoding #<Encoding:UTF-8>
p str2.scan /\p{Cyrillic}/ #found all cyrillic charachters
str2.gsub!(/\w/u,'') #removes only latin characters
puts str2

The question is why /\w/ ignore cyrillic characters?

I have installed latest ruby package from http://rubyinstaller.org/.
Here is my output of ruby -v
ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i386-mingw32]

Are cyrillic characters supposed to count as "word characters"? (\w) ?
If so then looks like a bug to me. Ping core.

I think that \w (and similar shortcuts) is supposed to match ascii
characters only... thus it's equivalent to [a-zA-Z].

Isn't there some kind of unicode character class you can use?
