I'm not sure "easy perl" is a phrase I've ever read anywhere before. :)

I've looked at the validrcptto patch before but it has always looked 
like a giant kludge to me -- it works by creating a list of every valid 
recipient address, then patching qmail so it will check that list for 
every incoming message.  Personally, I don't like the two-step process 
because it's so easy for the list to get outdated.  I tend to create, 
delete and modify mailboxes on my server by hand, so I would have to 
remember to run this script every time I did anything (or I would have 
to wait for a cronjob to run the script for me).

Glancing at the source code for the mkvalidrcptto script (just reading 
the comments), it looks like it's mostly doing what spamdyke is going to 
do, except that spamdyke will do it in real time.  I don't know perl, so 
I can't say if this script covers every corner case I discovered but it 
seems fairly complete.  I would want to verify that it handles all of 
qmail's strange aliasing capabilities before I put my name to it however. :)
