I managed to rewrite this in a far smaller form. Also, at Damian Conway's urging, I renamed the module to Perl6::Interpolators. The pod is basically the same, with the first paragraph of 'BUGS' removed. Anyway, here's the new code, which uses Text::Balanced:
package Perl6::Interpolators;
use Filter::Simple;
use Text::Balanced qw(extract_codeblock);
FILTER {
my($inside_stuff, $t, $pos);
while(($pos=index($_, '$(')) != -1) {
$t=substr($_, $pos);
$inside_stuff=extract_codeblock($t, '()', qr/\$/);
s<\$\Q$inside_stuff\E><\${\\scalar$inside_stuff}>;
}
($inside_stuff, $t, $pos)=(undef, undef, undef);
while(($pos=index($_, '@(')) != -1) {
$t=substr($_, $pos);
$inside_stuff=extract_codeblock($t, '()', qr/\@/);
s<\@\Q$inside_stuff\E><\@{[$inside_stuff]}>;
}
};

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
