Yes. A mature and well-understood tool does not cease to exist nor cease to be useful simply because new tools exist.

Simply being "new" does not mean "better," except for those who merely seek novelty.

I always hated Perl.

This library does sound interesting and maybe Perl would be less painful for me now with a language model.

The article is great right until it gets into the perl code.

My brain just turns off and my eyes want to cross.

Really? That's a remarkably readable Perl code, actually.
