There is none. The problem is not the intrinsic character set, but
rather that the changes to the Unicode support broke the EBCDIC
support and that nobody has stepped forward to do whatever is
necessary to make them coexist. at least not for Perl 5.
Maybe IBM should include a Perl 6 implementation on the ported tools
page.
