in reply to website infrastructure of ssi and calls to scripts bad juju?

Does anybody have experience designing a site with ssi and multiple calls to scripts for content?
I had to refactor such a system. It was a pain in the ass. And of course it's slow. More than one SSI call per page, and a simple CGI script instead of the shtml would be faster. there are enough templating systems on CPAN to avoid SSI.

    Thanks for telling.

    Yes, my shining pearl of a choice is HTML::Template.

    I just noticed that it was .. convenient. Users/web designers can understand things like,
    <!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/calendar"-->

    Maybe mod_perl usage as perrin suggests is a possible ring to marry the idea together.
