[ snip (too much, caught packed decimals stuff too ]
At CPAN, we have Convert-EBCDIC which should do the ASCII/EBCDIC
stuff. Another module is Convert::IBM390, which should handle
packed decimals. Searching for "packed decimal" at perlmonks.org
turned up a few things, including another search term (COMP-3).
The following web site was mentioned in the COMP-3 discussion, and
may be of interest:
