rlm_perl is persistant and so its much faster. If you don't have lot of
users then authenticating, then running an external script should be fine.
Its also easy to send back stuff to put in the radius log with rlm_perl if
you want to actually log specific things.

That would work. You could also call it with exec in radiusd.conf. Look
for exec echo in the default radiusd.conf file.

Wait tells it to wait for the program to finish before sending back auth
reply. That's probably what you want. I'm not really sure myself why you
wouldn't want that.
