Also, the other engines are inconvenient as you need a C compiler, and you need to build them (which might require other tools, like Python)

yes, I understand this convenience of pure-perl modules over modules that require C compiler
This works for simple cases, but not for something real big, like entire programming language

Having *slow* (and memory hungry) pure-perl JS engine, compared to fast V8 or SpiderMonkey, means only one thing - pure-perl is a toy, and v8 or spidermonkey is a real something
(o-kay, if not a toy, then maybe this is a reference implementation? but JE is not positioning this)

Next, why do you might prefer pure-perl over C, in this particular case? portability? or maybe you want to experiment with source code by adding something to it?

Current version number - 0.05x - means that even author expects it to be far from being ECMA standard-compliant - otherwise it would be 1.00 or something.

OK,
just as another guess - maybe author writes such a module to become familiar with Ecmascript language?
