I prefer to make things TT plugins for maximum reusability.  I don't want Perl 
sitting around in my templates, because it's completely unmaintainable there.   
(At least until someone writes Test::BlobOfEmbeddedPerl.)  Unit testing 
plugins is easy (and so is writing them).  Plus, the web developers can't 
mess them up (not that they want to, it's just that dreamweaver and friends 
have a tendency to blow away non-HTML).

I like the coderef-in-stash approach also, but I've never actually done it.
