Hi I am trying to run this script on an EBCDIC platform using perl-5.8.6 ($a = "\x89\x8a\x8b\x8c\x8d\x8f\x90\x91") =~ tr/\x89-\x91/X/; is($a, "XXXXXXXX");
The result I get is 'X«»ðý±°X' a) Is this happening since \x8a\x8b\x8c\x8d\x8f\x90 are the gapped characters in EBCDIC ? or b) Should all the bytes in $a change to X?
