Bare Words are not handled properly

1

Bare words in array initializations, hash initializations, and hash references are not translated properly into python strings. Examples: @regions=(AP,EMEA,LA,Canada); %hash1=(This=>"this", That=>"that", Two=>2); $options{OPTION}=1;

unless expression loses the required parenthesis for proper code generation

2

The perl "unless" construct generated an "if not" in python, but it fails to keep the parenthesis so it's probably wrong code: unless (($area_hidden) || ($area_rtr_hidden) || ($intf_hidden) || ($link_hidden))...
