Many of us have sites with pages that can be mostly, but not entirely
cached. Or sometimes the page can be entirely cached, but you need
to run a bit of logic to figure out which variant of the page is to
be served (etc etc). Doing it in the backend is much easier to
scale than if you start adding too many smarts to perlbal.
