Thanks for spotting that.  I see that the incorrect instructions
had crept into every release of OS390::Stdio that I have here from
0.003 onward.  I do not know how that got in there.  Note that
the module install pod page at (e.g.):

  http://perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/pod/perlmodinstall.html

Does correctly mention using the idiom similar to yours of:

  pax -o to=IBM-1047,from=ISO8859-1 -r < yourmodule.tar

I am not sure if this README typo in OS390::Stdio warrants a new release,
but I'll consider it (I was hoping to add better data set statistics
parsing for a new release).
