The English wiki says the embedded perl module is highly experimental
followed by a lot of warnings. Is this still true?
I have the same question as Arvind.
Btw, can any one give some non-trivial example about how to use embedded
perl module?

Currently it’s not highly experimental: we and some other use it in
production. However, you should not try to work with other servers or
databases in perl handler, because waiting on remote server/database
response blocks other connections handling.

Would it be fair to say that for as long as the perl fragment is
running, no other connection will be processed for a given worker?
Hence, do not use it if you don’t know what you are doing.

Yes.
