It does, but it is almost never prosecuted (as I've been told by attorneys and as I've coorobrated by my own anecdotal observations). The exceptions are high-profile scalps, such as Bill Clinton and Barry Bonds.
The real penalty for perjury is that it discredits your testimony and damages your case.
