On an EBCDIC platform like z/OS that is going to be one strange script. It must
START in some EDCDIC dialect and after the ; must switch to iso-2022-jp which
is an escape encoding and as I recall uses ASCII-oid escapes.

"
package Encode::JP;
BEGIN {
if (ord("A") == 193) {
die "Encode::JP not supported on EBCDIC\n";
}
}
"
So it seems authors have specifically excluded EBCDIC case.
