I haven't touched it in at least a year, if not longer. My issues with it aren't performance-related, they're concept-related. I think that it's a neat idea and a great demonstration of Perl's power. But, it's something that should be avoided at all costs in productionable code, unless there's simply no other way to do what you want to do. And, I mean NO OTHER WAY. Like, you've seriously tried 3 or 4 other solutions first.
My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
