Description

Use AI tools to convert legacy perl scripts to bash

Goals

Uyuni project contains legacy perl scripts used for setup. The perl dependency could be removed, to reduce the container size. The goal of this project is to research use of AI tools for this task.

Resources

Aider

Results:

Aider is not the right tool for this. It works ok for small changes, but not for complete rewrite from one language to another.

I got better results with direct API use from script.
