I'm a member od a different cabal; I want *both* proper integration of
Unix Services in MVS *and* all of the tools that I would expect on
other *ix platforms, e.g., a current[1][2] Perl, OOREXX.
[1] I'm looking to upgrade my OS/2 system from Perl 5.10.0 to 5.14
while MVS is stuck on 5.8.7.
[2] Yes, it would take a lot of work to resolve the EBCDIC-Unicode
issues. Perhaps they could offer Perl 6 instead?
