Out of these two examples, the latter is the better for performance reasons right?
As I've written in the original reply, they are exactly the same.

I was trying to decouple my methods as much as possible from outside requires or use statements.
You would benefit a lot by spending some time reading the performance+perl docs at perl.apache.org:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html
http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/perl_reference/perl_reference.html
and if you have the "practical mod_perl" book, the performance chapters there.
in the particular case of your question, most likely you want to preload all the modules that your code is using at the server startup.
