Hi.

There are some examples of code in shell script translated to perl at How can I translate a shell script to Perl? - Stack Overflow

However, also note:
Code:
   How can I convert my shell script to perl?
       Learn Perl and rewrite it.  Seriously, there's no simple converter.
       Things that are awkward to do in the shell are easy to do in Perl, and
       this very awkwardness is what would make a shell->perl converter nigh-
       on impossible to write.  By rewriting it, you'll think about what
       you're really trying to do, and hopefully will escape the shell's
       pipeline datastream paradigm, which while convenient for some matters,
       causes many inefficiencies.
