I believe so, after years of being vapourware and basically stopping Perl 5 development right when web as a platform started being important.

Perl 6 did get released, with that name, after years stuck in development (source: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/15/12/26/0354235/perl-...). Only later was it rebranded.

In 2019 to be precise: https://raku.org
