Harald Jörg, the (almost?) maintainer of cperl-mode has started one
on

  https://github.com/HaraldJoerg/emacs-perl-ts-mode

but it's very basic so far (as he notes himself!) and does syntax
highlighting only, as far as I can see.  Harald also comments on
the treesitter approach for Perl at the end of this post, btw:

  https://yhetil.org/emacs-bugs/878r8wa67e.fsf@oook.m.uunet.de/

Plus, as others on this thread have already mentioned, there is no
fully operable treesitter grammar for Perl yet.  The one on

  https://github.com/tree-sitter-perl/tree-sitter-perl

seems to be the best bet so far.
