If you just have one or a small handfull of domains you provide DNS for you can edit named.conf manually. The comments in the distributed named.conf seem clear enough to me. The perl script is useful if you have a large named.boot to convert. Remember to remove the C style comments around the "zone" directive if you edit by hand. If you're not primary (or secondary) for any domains the distributed named.conf will work fine as is.
