reversed.
For example, to convert ASCII to code page 037 take the output of the second
-column from the output of recipe 0 and use it in tr/// like so:
+column from the output of recipe 0 (modified to add \\ characters) and use
+it in tr/// like so:
$cp_037 =
'\000\001\002\003\234\011\206\177\227\215\216\013\014\015\016\017' .
my $ebcdic_string = $ascii_string;
eval '$ebcdic_string =~ tr/\000-\377/' . $cp_037 . '/';
-To convert from EBCDIC to ASCII just reverse the order of the tr///
+To convert from EBCDIC 037 to ASCII just reverse the order of the tr///
arguments like so:
my $ascii_string = $ebcdic_string;
- eval '$ascii_string = tr/' . $code_page_chrs . '/\000-\037/';
+ eval '$ascii_string = tr/' . $cp_037 . '/\000-\377/';

+Similarly one could take the output of the third column from recipe 0 to
+obtain a C<$cp_1047> table. The fourth column of the output from recipe
+0 could provide a C<$cp_posix_bc> table suitable for transcoding as well.
