I second that. I'm currently using it on a mission-critical app at work 
and It Just Works (and does it quickly too!). I'm using CGI::Application 
and do something like this:

sub print_form {
   ...
   return $self->process("some text", $data);
}
sub process {
   my ($self, $text, $data) = @_
   my $fif = HTML::FillInForm->new(); # look real usage up :-)
   return $fif->the_method($text, $data);
}
