I do.

OLdap 2.1.x / FreeBSD 4.10 / Perl 5.8.5 (use perl >= 5.6).
OLdap 2.1.x / FreeBSD 5.2.1 / Perl 5.8.5
OLdap 2.1.x / Sun Solaris 2.8 / Perl 5.6.1 (compiled with gcc 2.95.x) 
on sparc 64 with 32Bits binaries.
OLdap 2.1.X / Linux Debian Woody + Backports / Perl 5.8.5
OLdap 2.0.x / Windows NT 2000 Advanced Server / Cygwin / Active Perl

I never used it...

I use it as auth system for :

- postfix
- courier imap
- pure-ftpd
- lmtpd
- caudium VHS
- apache2 + mod_vhs (using libhome)

Work like a charm for more than 2 years.... I just have some segfaults 
on Solaris 2.8 platform, but I think this is perl 5.6.1 fault not 
openldap....
