Yup.  I've found it works reasonably well.  Some AVI movies seem to  
be very green-tinted and nearly unwatchable, but most files work  
fine.  (Granted, I build it out of the developer's Subversion  
repository; I'm not sure what the releases are like.)

The nice thing is that Perian's just a plug-in, so it enables Finder  
previews and the like.  The combination of Perian and Flip4Mac means  
that I hardly ever end up with an unplayable video.
