Really? I don't find the word fastq anywhere in that file... I know
the fastq format isn't that complex, but why write my own custom
conversion utility if one already exists right?

Bioperl is so good at converting between other formats, I just assumed
there should be a couple of lines to get this done.

Cheers,
