Hi Can somebody enlighten me how the transliteration operator (tr//) is supposed to work on EBCDIC platform? I am asking this question with reference to a test case in perl-5.8.6 i.e t/op/tr which is failing on EBCDIC platform
Here is the snipped of the test case ................ ............... # Tricky on EBCDIC: while [a-z] [A-Z] must not match the gap characters, # (i-j, r-s, I-J, R-S), [\x89-\x91] [\xc9-\xd1] has to match them, # from Karsten Sperling. # Not working in EBCDIC as of 12674. $c = ($a = "\x89\x8a\x8b\x8c\x8d\x8f\x90\x91") =~ tr/\x89-\x91/X/; is($c, 8); is($a, "XXXXXXXX"); # Not working in EBCDIC as of 12674. $c = ($a = "\xc9\xca\xcb\xcc\xcd\xcf\xd0\xd1") =~ tr/\xc9-\xd1/X/; is($c, 8); is($a, "XXXXXXXX"); ....... ........ Is it supposed to change the gapped characters to X also? In that case what is the behaviour for tr/a-z/X ? Thanks in advance Sastry
