The new named uses the same format for zone files, the scripts are
fine.

If you just have one or a small handfull of domains you provide DNS
for you can edit named.conf manually.  The comments in the distributed
named.conf seem clear enough to me.  The perl script is useful if
you have a large named.boot to convert.  Remember to remove the C style
comments around the "zone" directive if you edit by hand.

If you're not primary (or secondary) for any domains the distributed 
named.conf will work fine as is.
