Convert::IBM390 works very well at converting COMP-3 to the ASCII world. I'm currently writing a generic ebcdic2ascii.pl translator, which given a map file will spit out comma separated value files.

But, if you need to convert lots of EBCDIC string data to ASCII, a simple "dd conv=ascii if=infile of=ofile" will serve you lots faster.
