FYI, Memached::libmemcached provides a (nearly) complete interface to
libmemcached that's very thin and efficient.

http://search.cpan.org/~timb/Memcached-libmemcached/libmemcached.pm

It supports perl versions down to 5.6.2 and is well tested across a
range of unix-like systems:
http://bbbike.radzeit.de/~slaven/cpantestersmatrix.cgi?dist=Memcached-libmemcached

It's also specifically designed to be very easy to add support for extra
functions and features as libmemcached evolves (new functions, binary
protocol etc).

Cache::Memached::libmemcached is now implemented as a layer over
Memached::libmemcached.

If libmemcached could be ported to Windows there'd be little need for
the old/slow Cache::Memcached interface.
