Pardon my ignorance. Does that mean that `s/Latin-1/CP1252/g` could be a
mistake on EBCDIC?

Yes, that's essentially what I meant when I said in an earlier email
that NEL is THE new-line character on os390, which generally runs using
EBCDIC. The code point for NEL in cp1252 is a horizontal ellipsis, and
not a "next line", but on some platforms, like os390, it means "next
line". This is a conflict.
However, now that I think about it, when I look at os390 runs, I rarely
see NELs. Maybe there is a filter that translates them to \n before the
pod sees it, but sometimes, I do see NEL all over the place but no \n.
I'll ask on the perl-mvs list about this.
