How to clone and use the git perl repository is described in L<perlrepository>.
You can also choose to use rsync to get a copy of the current source tree

Many of the comments in the existing code ignore the possibility of EBCDIC,
and may be wrong therefore, even if the code works.
This is actually a tribute to the successful transparent insertion of being

UTF-8 and UTF-EBCDIC are two different encodings used to represent Unicode
code points as sequences of bytes. Macros

For example, the concept of C<invariant characters> differs between ASCII and
EBCDIC.
On ASCII platforms, only characters that do not have the high-order
