readmvs and writemvs are not part of the IBM Ported Tools for z/OS
(Perl for z/OS). They _are_ free tools available on the z/OS UNIX Tools
and Toys download page / web site.
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/unix/bpxa1ty2.html
"readmvs is a utility that copies one MVS file to stdout, so it can be
manipulated in shell pipelines and redirected into HFS files. writemvs is a
utility that copies stdin to an MVS file. ("MVS file" means a sequential
data set or a member of a partitioned data set.) readmvs, writemvs, and mcp
are packaged together. "
"mcp is a shell function wrapper for readmvs and writemvs (both are
described below), and all three are packaged together as "readmvs". mcp
mimics the syntax of cp for copying files from one place to another. These
files may be MVS files, indicated by a leading // on each MVS file name.
"MVS file" means a sequential data set or a member of a partitioned data set. "
