I haven't been able to use TCPIP sockets with Perl on
z/OS since Perl v5.6.1. The newer releases build fine and pass
97-98% of the test suite but I fear it's hopelessly broken for the z/OS platform
and I don't know enough to try and fix it. Perl is useless without TCPIP
socket support.
You would think IBM would see the value in having an
open, industry-standard scripting language for z/OS UNIX (besides Rexx which
really isn't open)...they need to fund a "catch up" release where they help get
Perl ported and working again on this platform.
Or perhaps they have abandoned z/OS UNIX in favor of
LINUX.
