Hello TimeBandit and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of perl!

As first, pedantic, note I feel the need to say that PERL simply does not exists: perl is the program and Perl is the language.

Then, after pointing you to the perlos390 official doc (already pointed by swl in the github, probably more up to date incarnation), I have found an IBM official document about the porting of perl 5.8 which is from 2006 but probably worth to investigate. See also this.
