perl/java incompatability

[Aidan Samuel]

I know this is a bit of a shot in the dark, but I thought I'd give it a
go:

We have perl reading/writing from/to our memcache server, and java just
reading. Perl is working fine, but java only works /most/ of the time.
For particular keys, java gets junk data returned.

I think java is hashing its keys before sending to the memcache server,
whereas perl are send the keys in plaintext and let memcache do the
magic*. Could this be it? I think we are using CRC32.

Are there any known issues to be aware of, or common pitfalls in this
scenario?

* I can only see the perl side, I'm not sure if my java related info is
correct or even possible!

Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

Aidan.
