Almost no difference. We aggree, I think, if we look the matter generally.
Especially true when using CGI environment (starting perl probably takes more time, than the script execution itself).
But in persistent environments like mod_perl, the situation changes.
In some situations, a "static" page using SSI, will be still faster than dynamic mode.
Highly depends on what we want to display. If we display just a few things, we save the time what would be needed to generate the full page itself. Hooking the handle_login in user.cgi, would be possible to write a plugin, which does some small tasks, like printing out Login/Logout link using SSI.
IMHO.
Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
