PHP and Perl will do Unicode text processing. Of course, Unicode regexp is supported. They are platform indepedent, sort of, so you can expect Unicode text processing on Linux. But I can't speak for certain, especially with Arabic because I don't know Arabic, and I don't know if Arabic is well supported or not, but I do quite a lot of Unicode text processing with Perl with mainly Chinese and things seem to do quite well.
The best bet is you do some testing yourself. People who don't know the language can't help with your testing.
As a reminder, please do not hasten others just because you would like to get your question answered fast. This is not an online help desk. Most people do not visit the forums every a few hours (or minutes) so do not expect your post will be seen too soon.
