A basic conversion script from systemd units to OpenRC initscripts

I wrote a perl script to convert (simple) systemd units to OpenRC initscripts, which will hopefully make it easier to port things to OpenRC. Feedback is appreciated.

[Mod edit]
There's a more complete online solution that converts systemd units to OpenRC scripts:
http://openrc.run/

Thanks, I am sure it will be useful at some point. I haven't run into a case where gentoo didn't have the init script I need so far, but if I ever do I will give this a try.

So would this be a script to convert straight Arch with OpenRC?
Or is it more generic for any linux on systemd?

This script were used to convert any systemd units ( services) into openrc compatible init script, NOT converting a distro
If I can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!
