Some CPAN testers are running big-endian machines:

http://www.cpantesters.org/

You can also emulate one on a PC (or a different little-endian machine) using 
QEMU:

And finally, you may opt to buy this cheap Mipsel machine:

But also see Shachar's message.

MIPS can be either big endian or little endian. mipsel is little
endian MIPS.

arch/mips/configs/lemote2f_defconfig has:

# CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is not set
CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y

(I just got one such laptop. Looks nice, though the included software
could be improved. They seem to be making an effort and I see quite a
few changesets from @lemote.com addresses in 2.6.33)


OTOH, you can buy a used Mac/PowerPC

That would need to be an X command, as the command line has no paste 
buffer, on the X server. I'm not aware of such a command, but it 
shouldn't be too difficult to write.

Also I'd like to find someone willing to give me an account
on a big-endian machine.
I may be able to arrange something. I have Sparc and  PowerPC machines. 
I'll try to figure out how I can expose them to you. How long do you 
need the access for? What type of access do you need?

 use xclip (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xclip/)
 cat file | xclip


 Also I'd like to find someone willing to give me an account
