Hello,
I'm testing perl-5.7.3 on BS2000 (POSIX-BC) and have several tests failed.
I started to investigate some of them and saw that most are due to the UTF
support.
I would like know whether on other EBCDIC platforms there are the same
results.
In case that some of the failed tests are considered obvious, could they be
skipped on EBCDIC platforms ?
Here bellow are the tests results I have, test suite is not completed
because udp sockets are blocking (I should investigate it):
