It's incredibly important.  You are working your server hard right now 
by making it compile huge chunks of Perl on every request.

Do a search for INCLUDE_PATH in the list archives and you'll see dozens 
of explanations of how to change it dynamically without creating a new 
Template object.

(Andy, maybe Template should default to using a persistent cache kept in 
a global so that people don't keep getting tripped up by this.)
