 Recent versions of Perl have been ported to platforms such as OS/400 on
 AS/400 minicomputers as well as OS/390, VM/ESA, and BS2000 for S/390
 Mainframes.  Such computers use EBCDIC character sets internally (usually
-Character Code Set ID 00819 for OS/400 and 1047 for S/390 systems).
-On the mainframe perl currently works under the "Unix system services

-the BS200 POSIX system (BS2000 is supported in perl 5.006 and greater).

 As of R2.5 of USS for OS/390 and Version 2.3 of VM/ESA these Unix
 sub-systems do not support the C<#!> shebang trick for script invocation.
