I'm trying not to cross that road. ;) If you want you can compare it against a trivial bounding-box approach of spatial indexing. You add 4 indexed columns for each polygon and use the formula from my first post to eliminate candidates°. A simplistic pure Perl solution would probably imply sorted arrays, slices and hash intersections for the AND clause. (Doesn't scale well but can handle 10000 polygons easily) You already created your test sample, I doubt the OP ever will.
