The Articles of Confederation were determind to be unworkable, and were replaced by the Constitution, which became the supreme law of the land. As far as I know, the Constitution does not anywhere use the term “Perpetual Union”.

The Constitution did not abolish the Articles of Confederation, it amended and improved the political arrangements. The Preamble starts off: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union...” Not a less perfect Union. There's not a word about abolishing the the perpetuity of the Union anywhere in the Constitution.
