XML::SAX, XML::SIMPLE on os390(Z/OS)

[ANDREW BOYNE]

Hi,

  We are having difficulty configuring XML-SAX-0.12 on Zos 1.3.  I believe it may be down to lack of support for the EBCDIC codepage.  As this perl module is required for XML-Simple it is essential we get it working to be able to continue our work.  Could you please give us some help?


Below are the results of the 'make test' :
