This isn't just shell script you have submitted so any translator is probably not going to work. This also contains awk script. There have been a number of times in my career where there just isn't an easy way to handle large and many times poorly written scripts. You just have to attempt to understand them in a top down fashion and re-write them. In this case, I always make sure I am not trying to correct something that really isn't broken. What problem will you solve by converting this to perl?

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
