I have the regex
my $regex = qr/^([\w `^~!@;:,+%&|<>{}()=\-\$\*\?\[\]\\\.\/\'"#]*)$/;
for matching the printable characters `^~!@#$%&*?_+-={}[]()<>;:'"|\,./
a..z A..Z 0..9
is there any better approach ?

In article <jpieg9$1io0$1...@news.ntua.gr>, George Mpouras
You can try the Posix character classes [[:print]], which includes
"printable" whitespace, and [[:graph:]], which does not.
See 'perldoc perlrecharclass' for other forms.

Luckily you are mistaken because depending on your locale \w will match
