perl module loads the script specified by filename parameter in mod

So, it is not loading it every time a function is executed. There is
some code to be able to reload, but afaik, feature was not finished.
Regarding lua, there are couple of functions, some of them allowing to
execute parts of a file loaded at startup, other will load the script
every time.

what do you mean by outside process?
For example, with app_lua, the interpreter is linked to the code, so
is no external process, it is like cfg interpreter, just that it
resides in a module, not in core.
Oh, I did not realise it is so persistent.
I thought it worked more like Apache's mod_php, where the interpreter
and dependencies are loaded into memory so that the entire language
runtime does not need to be initialised each time a script is invoked,
but the script itself is still loaded anew every time.
What you are suggesting is that the 'perl' module works more like
mod_perl, where the user-supplied script itself is loaded into memory
persistently?
