  That's good.

  You should be able to use rlm_perl to run the Perl script natively.  That should be faster than exec'ing a shell script.

  You can fork the script with "wait = no".  But it is odd that the script times out like that.

  To be honest, I don't really recommend running scripts on login.  They are usually slow and resource-intensive.
