Sort Order EBCDIC - In UNIX

Inca has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

We are rehosting applications from Mainframe to UNIX. How to achieve EBCDIC sort order in UNIX. Is there a way to set LC_COLLATE and enforce PERL sort to use EBCDIC order? Another option i tried is to convert the ASCII file into EBCDIC (using convert EBCDIC functions), sort and convert it back to ASCII (using convert EBCDIC functions). Doesn't seem to work.

    shouldn't that be the other way around: EBCDIC -> ASCII, sort, ASCII -> EBCDIC?

    If the file is stored in "ASCII" (probably not ASCII, but an 8-bit character set) then you should sort for that character set, not EBCDIC.
