1 In source code perl is found cod :

if (variable == 0x41 )  // variable == 'A'  
 or 
if (variable == 0x20 ) // variable == ' '
 or 
if (variable == 0x7F) // variable == DEL
 
 In code has a numeric value 

2 Create some files *.h  using perl scripts  

  These scripts do not work on z/OS , I edit the file charclass_invlist.h 
manually.

Yup, we know.  Or, at least, used to know: see pod/perlebcdic.pod, and
pod/perlport.pod

The thing that is curious is that we once (ahem, about ten years ago)
fixed all of these problems both in the C implementation and in the Perl
core libraries and tests.  Now if all these bad assumptions have been
re-introduced, that would be annoying...
