Technically, I see that it is a KUAL extension, and I know that K4, for instance, has KUAL working. However, the methods of managing Collections are different on Legacy Kindles. For example, it was already a new one for Kindle Touch.
The are both human readable scripts, compare what they do.

The thing you are looking for is the form and format of the sqlite3 database commands.
The fact that one is written in Perl and one in Python does not make a difference, only the form and format of the db commands.

IIRC, the only change was when Amazon dropped support for nested collections and reused that record field to indicate 'cloud' collections.

Another point in favor of testing or updating our script -
There is a serious shortage of maintainers here, we can not take on supporting some other site's script.
If you must use that Perl script, you will have to get your help from that author/that site.
