Yes, that's essentially what I meant when I said in an earlier email 
that NEL is THE new-line character on os390, which generally runs using 
EBCDIC.  The code point for NEL in cp1252 is a horizontal ellipsis, and 
not a "next line", but on some platforms, like os390, it means "next 
line".   This is a conflict.

However, now that I think about it, when I look at os390 runs, I rarely 
see NELs.  Maybe there is a filter that translates them to \n before the 
pod sees it, but sometimes, I do see NEL all over the place but no \n. 
I'll ask on the perl-mvs list about this.
