This is helpful. Thanks for telling me about it. I did work thru my problem with loading the PM. I manually went to the folder where the CPAN placed the module Convert::IBM390 and did make, test, install and it now is working. I guess there is some configuration (o conf) problem. Make doesn't have an entry. Anyone know if that is acceptable? I do see now there is a perldoc cpan. Looks limited. Should anyone know where I might finding user doc on CPAN, please let me know.

Have you read the perlebcdic document? perldoc perlebcdic It has code in it for converting between ASCII and EBCDIC.
