EBCDIC is available on x86 platforms

I discovered that Fujitsu makes a form of their EBCDIC OS BS2000/OSD for 
x86 machines.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BS2000/OSD

It would seem to me that an organization that really wants Perl EBCDIC 
support to continue would easily have the means to devote an x86 as a 
smoker machine.  Without a commitment for a smoker, the plug will soon 
be pulled on Perl support.
