eval is the problem that comes to my mind. Because you can build and execute arbitrary bits of code, you need something that can parse perl. I imagine that s///e would also be a problem. If the code that's generated is moderately complex, you would likely have bugs.

Here's an interesting bit of explanation of the current compiler status.
