Well, there's one less compiling stage (Perl -> bytecode, rather than
template -> Perl -> bytecode,) but that's less of an issue in a mod_perl
environment as you can normally do the compiling at server startup once.
As you might expect there's the standard reasons to use a module over a
script that hold true for a plugin over inline Perl code.
1. Code Reuse
2. You can easily test modules as discrete lumps (test.pl, *.t, etc)
3. Ease of extending the code (subclassing)
Later.
