I have run the Unicode-Transform module on using perl 5.8.0 on z/OS
where perl's internal unicode format is UTF-EBCDIC, not UTF-8. The test
results are as follows:
/defects/brian/unicode/Unicode-Transform-0.10:>make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /defects/brian/nonthreaded/perl-5.8.0/perl
"-I/defects/brian/n
onthreaded/perl-5.8.0/lib" "-I/defects/brian/nonthreaded/perl-5.8.0/lib"
"-MExtU
tils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/handler....FAILED test 5
Failed 1/7 tests, 85.71% okay
t/test.......FAILED tests 6-13

t/test.t 24 8 33.33% 6-13
Failed 2/2 test scripts, 0.00% okay. 9/31 subtests failed, 70.97% okay.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 121
Could these failures be due to an assumption of UTF-8 in the tests, or
do they show some real problems with running this module on z/OS.
Thanks
