 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-The character class C<\d> in a regular expression matches all unicode digit character, which
+The character class C<\d> (also the POSIX character class C<[:digit:]>) in a regular expression matches all unicode digit character, which
 might not be what you expect if you are testing if a string can be used as a number in Perl.
 Instead use either C<[0-9]>, or if you are on Perl 5.14 or better you can use the C</a>
 modifier.  This policy allows C<\d> in expressions with an explicit C</u> modifier (normally
 on by default), as it indicates that the code is expecting Unicode semantics, including Unicode
 digits.
