Perl 5.8.0 also supports Unicode on EBCDIC platforms. There,
the Unicode support is somewhat more complex to implement since
additional conversions are needed at every step. Some problems
-remain, but they all seem to be related to the combination of
-the extra mapping just described and case-insensitive matching:
-for example, C<< /[\x{131}]/ >> (LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I)
-does not match "I" case-insensitively, as it should under Unicode.
-(The match succeeds in ASCII-derived platforms.)
+remain, see L<perlebcdic> for details.
In any case, the Unicode support on EBCDIC platforms is better than
in the 5.6 series, which didn't work much at all for EBCDIC platform.
