I'm sure there will be some bugs ...

The virt-edit -e option[1] takes a Perl expression.  This was handled
easily in the old Perl program.  In the new code this calls out to
'perl' on the current PATH.  As noted in the manual page, if 'perl' is
not available then it will fail.  Apart from this change, it should be
completely compatible with the existing program.
