John, There's a module in CPAN, Convert::Translit, which converts to and from a very large number of characcter encodings.

Please let us know if it works for you. <http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Convert/Convert-Translit-1.03.tar.gz> Jim At 4:27 PM -0500 4/6/99, John Gilmore-Baldwin wrote: >That's what I need to do, take an EBCDIC file, and translate it to ASCII. > >While the task isn't that difficult, if somebody has already written an >elegant solution, I feel no need to do it too.
