I can  build and  fixing  problems, give full log "make test".

The main difference with z/OS the encoding EBCDIC and not full support of 
POSIX. 


Many of the tests are created without considering the peculiarities EBCDIC.

example:

   $x = "A";
   ok( $x == chr(65) ," Test : A" );

 test incorrect for EBCDIC . 

or test sort 

 priority 

EBCDIC         ASCII

  a..z                0..9
  A..Z               A..Z
  0..9                a..z

all test sort incorrect. 
  

P.S. I work with the source perl directly on the mainframe, but I do not use 
scripts perl )).

To elaborate... there are different levels/ways you can help:

Level 1: build and send us the full "make test" output.
Level 2: build and try yourself fixing some problems, and send the fixes
to perl5-porters.
Level 3: like Level 2 but actively involve perl5-porters.  As the name
says...
Level 4: set up an automatic periodic build ("a smoker") that
periodically pulls the latest perl5 source, and attempts building it
(possibly across different build configurations), and the build reports
are emailed to perl5-porters.  Again, perl5-porters can advise in the
"smoke setup".
