/p{Mirrored} fails

the following works as expected:
my $s = 'Hi (There)';
foreach (split(//, $s))
{
print "$_ ", ($_ =~ m/^\p{Lu}$/ ? 'IS' : 'IS NOT'), " Lu.\n";
}

but trying to do the same thing for the Mirrored property:
my $s = 'Hi (There)';
foreach (split(//, $s))
{
print "$_ ", ($_ =~ m/^\p{Mirrored}$/ ? 'IS' : 'IS NOT'), " Mirrored.\n";
}

generates the following error message:
Can't find Unicode property definition "Mirrored" at test.pl line 4

perldoc perlunicode says "Many predefined properties are available,
such as \p{Mirrored} and \p{Tibetan}."

perl -v:

I'm pretty sure this worked on 5.8. Any help would be appreciated

Doesn't work on 5.8 - I think it's a typo. A little farther down it lists:
