You're an editor now, so go for it if you want.
Looking at the beginning of the phrasebook page I see, under todo, "Use sorted() where appropriate once 2.4 has been out a while." That was 20 years ago. It looks like the last edit to the page is 2012. Maybe most Perl programmers who are going to migrate have already done so and the phrasebook is no longer important? I.e. would I be wasting my time updating that page? Presumably the page doesn't need to be V2 friendly any more given that V2 was declared EOL 4 years ago.
Whether it's worth it to you to work on a page that probably isn't seeing much use is only something you can decide :-) It's all volunteers around here anyway. You're right there haven't been changes for well over a decade, don't know if that's due to a lack of readership or just due to the lack of a volunteer who felt motivate. And, no, there's no need to preserve Python 2-isms.
As an oddity, I've recently seen a couple of job postings for programmers specifically calling out Strawberry Perl as the requirement... Perl is Perl, no?
