Thanks, Luciano. I too am short on time at the moment, but I think I
should be able to at least get the decks converted before 4.3.

There was a problem with the ordering of the card suits and ranks,
which I've fixed in the attached version. Other than that, it seems to
work quite well.

The back side is stored separately from the deck (although I'd like to
see that changed). I might try to include that in the script, but I'm
also terrified of Perl, so I'm making no guarantees. ;)
