The griplist should only be downloaded once every 6 hours at the very least, not a huge issue IMHO.

Well, instead of having it in the assp.pl to be subroutine'd periodically, cant assp.pl call/run the subroutine as an external script periodically? I'm not experienced with Perl scripts calling Perl scripts, so I don't know what effects this would have or requirements involved.

FWIW, in other less-advanced scripting languages, if I didn't want a subroutine to unnecessarily delay the core routines of my script, I would externalize that subroutine to a separate external script, and make a call to it that does not wait for it to complete before continuing the primary script processing.

I hope that made sense. IANAP (I am not a programmer). I just know what I have done in the past to get things done.
