The following C functions are unimplemented on VOS, and any attempt by
Perl to use them will result in a fatal error message and an immediate

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
-for OS/390" (formerly known as OpenEdition), VM/ESA OpenEdition, or
-the BS200 POSIX system (BS2000 is supported in perl 5.006 and greater).
