The point here is that the interesting data is only available to Perl
anyway, because it's all been Storable'd.  So yeah, only for Perl.  I
wouldn't want to even attempt to implement the Python pickle format in
Perl, either.

I suppose you could mix clients to the same memcached if you were either
careful to keep their keys separate or careful to use a common storage
format (ints, strings), but that's not what I'm using it for and I
primarily wrote this client for my own purposes.  :)
