Perl client rewrite (2.0-rc1)

[Gerard Goossen]

Hi,

We have rewritten the perl memcached client.
New features:
- Faster (about twice as fast).
- UTF-8 supported.
- tests.
- We can read the code
- More documentation

We have been running the new clients one our servers for a few weeks
without any (memcached related) problems.
I should work as a drop in replacement for the current perl client.
But it would be nice, if some more people could test it.
There is still room for some more performance improvements, but it would
be nice to know that everything works (outside the universe of our few
server), before doing that.
