Recent versions of perldoc perlebcdic suggest that perl is once again a practical proposition on EBCDIC platforms. Some years ago I attempted to fulfil a CPAN RT request to add EBCDIC support to Net::DNS. This took such a long time to achieve that the requester had by then disappeared. The wreckage of that attempt is still present, although untested on real hardware. There is little point in it remaining there unless it works. In order to resolve this issue, one way or the other, I would greatly appreciate help from someone with access to an EBCDIC machine to conduct a Net::DNS build and run the test scripts.
