Apparently so. A transcript of my test:

LIH1:TSH009:/home/tsh009/junk$
cat tperl.pl
#!/usr/lpp/ported/perl/bin/perl
print "hello, sailor!\n"
LIH1:TSH009:/home/tsh009/junk$
perl tperl.pl
hello, sailor!
LIH1:TSH009:/home/tsh009/junk$
iconv -t iso8859-1 -f ibm-1047 tperl.pl >tperl-a.pl
LIH1:TSH009:/home/tsh009/junk$
chtag -tc iso8859-1 tperl-a.pl
LIH1:TSH009:/home/tsh009/junk$
cat tperl-a.pl
#!/usr/lpp/ported/perl/bin/perl
print "hello, sailor!\n"
LIH1:TSH009:/home/tsh009/junk$
perl tperl-a.pl
hello, sailor!
LIH1:TSH009:/home/tsh009/junk$
