As the title says, are there issues running Parse::RecDescent under mod_perl?

I googled for this and only found one place that mentions there being issues and that was a presentation by a perlmonk, juerd. His presentation is at http://juerd.nl/files/slides/2004dpw/en/slides.html.

In it, he says that: 

#  Special variables: NEVER use $`, $& and $'
# Or modules that use them

    * Text::Balanced
    * Parse::RecDescent
    * re (use re 'debug' is not lexical!)
    * and more...

But I couldn't find any other references on Google to people having issues running RecDescent under Mod_perl. In fact, the stuff I found implied that people were runnning it successfully. Including links I found here in the monastary, Running Parse::RecDescent Under mod_perl

I don't want to go through the effort of writing my code using Parse::RecDescent if it will not work under mod_perl, but my confidence in being able to use them together is shaken by my research. So, any thoughts?
